Title: 15NO3 data, acetylene reduction assays, and NH4+ diffusion average summaries from samples collected in Little Lagoon, Alabama from 2012 to 2013 (NCEI Accession 0277362)
Abstract: This dataset contains chemical data collected on SmallBoat_FSU during deployment LittleLagoon from 2012-01-01 to 2013-12-31. These data include Ammonium, Nitrate, and nitrogen fixation rate. These data were collected by Dr William C. Burnett of Florida State University and Dr Behzad Mortazavi of National Science Foundation as part of the "Groundwater Discharge, Benthic Coupling and Microalgal Community Structure in a Shallow Coastal Lagoon (LittleLagoonGroundwater)" project. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2023-01-23.

15NO3 data, acetylene reduction assays, and NH4+ diffusion average summaries

Dataset Description:
Average summary data from samples collected in Little Lagoon, Alabama.

Little Lagoon is a shallow coastal lagoon that is tidally connected to the Gulf of Mexico but has no riverine inputs. The water in the lagoon is replenished solely from precipitation and groundwater inputs primarily on the East end (Su et al. 2012). Because of the rapid development in Baldwin County, a large amount of NO3- enters the Little Lagoon system through SGD (Murgule & Tick 2008). In this region, there can be rapid changes in the depth to groundwater (Fig. 4.1 inset) and episodic SGD inputs to the lagoon (Su et al. 2013). Within the lagoon, three sites were selected (East, Mouth, and West) to represent the gradient that exists across the lagoon from the input of groundwater. Sites were sampled on a near-monthly basis from February 2012 to February 2013.
