The Ocean Archive System searches our original datasets as they were submitted to us, not individual points or profiles. If you want to search and retrieve ocean profiles in a common format, or objectively analyzed fields, your better option may be to use one of our project applications. See: Access Data

| Title: | Organic matter composition of the dominant plants in and around three marsh ponds in PIE-LTER (Rowley, MA) from 2014 (NCEI Accession 0277254) |
| Abstract: | This dataset contains biological, chemical, and survey - biological data collected at shoreside Massachusetts during deployment Plum_Island from 2014-09-01 to 2014-11-30. These data include Nitrogen, d13C, d15N, species, and total organic Carbon. These data were collected by Amanda Spivak of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution as part of the "Eutrophication Effects on Sediment Metabolism and Benthic Algal-bacterial Coupling: An Application of Novel Techniques in a LTER Estuary (benthic_PP_at_TIDE)" project. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2023-01-23. The following is the text of the dataset description provided by BCO-DMO: Organic matter composition of the dominant plant communities in and around three high marsh ponds within PIE-LTER. Data were collected in the summer of 2014. Dataset Description: Organic matter composition of the dominant plant communities in and around three high marsh ponds within PIE-LTER.

| Supplementary information: | Acquisition Description: The three ponds are located in the high marsh (1.43-1.46 m above North American Vertical Datum of 1988) of the Plum Island Ecosystems – Long Term Ecological Research (PIE-LTER) site. Leaves from S. alterniflora , S. patens , R. maritima , and Ulva were collected in August 2014 from across the marsh platform and all three ponds; tissues were combined in combusted (450 ℃) glass jars to form species-specific composite samples. Benthic microalgae (BMA) were collected from ponds 1 and 2, as part of a separate study (July 2016), by placing combusted glass slides on surface sediments for one week and scraping attached material onto combusted glass fiber filters. All samples were frozen (-20 ℃) until analysis for TOC, TN, δ 13 C, and δ 15 N. Samples were prepared for elemental and isotopic analyses by drying to constant mass (60 °C) and fuming with hydrochloric (HCl) acid to remove carbonates (Hedges and Stern 1984). Analyses were performed by the Stable Isotope Laboratory at the Marine Biological Laboratory (Woods Hole, MA). Isotopic data are reported in the conventional δ-notation in units of per mil (‰). |
