This dataset contains chemical and physical data collected from 2017-05-01 to 2017-07-31. These data include Carbon, Nitrogen, d13C, and d15N. The instruments used to collect these data include Elemental Analyzer and Isotope-ratio Mass Spectrometer. These data were collected by Dr David J. Burdige and Dr Richard C. Zimmerman of Old Dominion University as part of the "Toward an Improved Understanding of Blue Carbon: The Role of Seagrasses in Sequestering CO2 (Seagrass Blue Carbon)" project. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2019-03-20.

Reference C, N and isotopes

Dataset Description:
This dataset includes results of carbon and nitrogen analyses on reference materials including alfalfa, nylon-6, bovine liver, and enriched alanine. The reference materials were analyzed for Carbon, Nitrogen, delta-13C, and delta-15N by the Stable Isotope Facility, U.C. Davis using a PDZ Europa ANCA-GSL elemental analyzer interfaced to a PDZ Europa 20-20 isotope ratio mass spectrometer (Sercon Ltd., Cheshire, UK).
