Biogeochemical data at a Mediterranean mussel farm, Northern Adriatic Sea

The database presents the field data used within the study carried out in the north-western Adriatic Sea (Brigolin et al., 2018, Biogeosciences https://doi.org/10.5194/bg-2017-206). A longline mussel farm was taken as a local source of perturbation to the natural Particulate Organic Carbon (POC) downward flux. This flux was first quantified by means of a pelagic model of POC deposition coupled to sediment traps data, and its effects on sediment bioirrigation capacity and OM degradation pathways were investigated constraining an early diagenesis model by using original data collected in sediment porewaters. The measurements were performed at stations located inside and outside the area affected by mussel farm deposition.

该数据库呈现了在亚得里亚海西北部开展的研究中使用的实地数据（Brigolin等，2018，《生物地球科学》，https://doi.org/10.5194/bg-2017-206）。一个延绳式贻贝养殖场被视为对自然颗粒有机碳（Particulate Organic Carbon，POC）向下通量的局部扰动源。首先，通过将POC沉积的远洋模型与沉积物捕获器数据耦合，对该通量进行了量化；随后，利用沉积物孔隙水中收集的原始数据约束早期成岩模型，研究了该通量对沉积物生物灌溉能力和有机质（Organic Matter，OM）降解路径的影响。测量在受贻贝养殖场沉积影响区域的内部和外部站点进行。
