Description

Measurements of nutrient flux and denitrification and DNRA rates in clam aquaculture sediments.

Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

In May and July 2013, 16 randomly selected clam beds and 4 uncultivated sites and in November 2013, 7 randomly selected clam beds and 3 uncultivated sites were sampled at the Cheerystone Inlet of VA Eastern Shore. Uncultivated sites were located approximately 20 m from the clam beds, a distance chosen to reduce any influence of aquaculture on the control sediments and at a water depth similar to that of the clam beds. 60 cores were collected in May and July (20 total sites during each month), and 30 cores were collected in November (10 total sites). Cores were not treated as replicates, but were used to conduct concurrent incubations to measurement of denitrification and DNRA rates by isotope-pairing techniques. The details of methods are published in Murphy et al. (2016). DOI: 10.1002/lno.10305.

Data Processing Description

Dataset Processing Description

Nutrients and isotopic composition of N2 and NH4+ were used to calculate the fluxes and rates as reported in Murphy et al (2016). DOI: 10.1002/lno.10305.

Instruments

Isotope-ratio Mass Spectrometer

Supplied Name: IRMS

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Isotope-ratio Mass Spectrometer

Acronym: IR Mass Spec; IRMS

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/LAB16/

Generic Description:

The Isotope-ratio Mass Spectrometer is a particular type of mass spectrometer used to measure the relative abundance of isotopes in a given sample (e.g. VG Prism II Isotope Ratio Mass-Spectrometer).

Multi Corer

Supplied Name: Core

Supplied Description:

Used to collect core samples

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Multi Corer

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/51/

Generic Description:

The Multi Corer is a benthic coring device used to collect multiple, simultaneous, undisturbed sediment/water samples from the seafloor. Multiple coring tubes with varying sampling capacity depending on tube dimensions are mounted in a frame designed to sample the deep ocean seafloor. For more information, see Barnett et al. (1984) in Oceanologica Acta, 7, pp. 399-408.
