Dataset: Assessing coastal carbon variability in two Delaware tidal marshes

Sediment cores were collected in at the St. Jones and Blackbird Creek Reserves in Delaware between 2017-2019 with the goal of measuring organic matter, sediment carbon, and dry bulk density. These data were used to assess the variability, mean, and range of carbon densities within two Delaware tidal marshes. An analysis of these data are available in the Journal of Coastal Conservation (St.Laurent et al, 2020).

2017至2019年，研究团队于美国特拉华州的圣琼斯保护区（St. Jones Reserves）与黑鸟溪保护区（Blackbird Creek Reserves）采集沉积物岩芯（sediment cores），以测定有机质（organic matter）、沉积物碳（sediment carbon）与干容重（dry bulk density）。本数据集用于评估特拉华州两处潮汐湿地内碳密度的变异特征、平均值与取值范围。针对该数据集的分析成果已发表于《海岸保护杂志》（Journal of Coastal Conservation），作者为圣洛朗等（St.Laurent et al., 2020）。
