WB 1306 Multicore, DeSoto Canyon, October 3-6, 2012.

Multicore samples collected during the R/V Weatherbird II cruise, from October 2 2012 to October 7 2012 were analyzed for fauna in the laboratory. This dataset reports count data for 171 taxa found in 18 multicore samples. Additionally samples were extracted for DNA and DNA concentrations are included. An experiment exposing sediment from 3 multicores at one sample site to methane for up to 41 days was conducted. Dissolved inorganic carbon production rates are calculated and pyrosequencing data is presented.

2012年10月2日至10月7日期间，在"R/V Weatherbird II"号考察航次中采集的多芯样品（multicore samples）已在实验室完成动物区系分析。本数据集报告了18个多芯样品中发现的171个分类群（taxa）的计数数据；此外，还包含样品的DNA提取结果及DNA浓度数据。研究人员开展了一项实验，将同一采样点3个多芯样品的沉积物暴露于甲烷环境中长达41天，数据集同时涵盖计算得出的溶解无机碳（dissolved inorganic carbon）产生速率与焦磷酸测序（pyrosequencing）数据。
