SEAS Blue - The IKI SES Project SE Asian Blue Carbon Dataset

The data set contains seagrass soil carbon (blue carbon) characteristics for four sites in each of Thailand (Trang), Malaysia (Johor and Penang) and The Philippines (Roxas), and for six sites in Indonesia (North Minahasa and Sangihe Island). For each site, four seagrass cores (100 cm long) were collected and then sliced at 1 cm intervals for the top 5 cm and for 5 cm intervals thereafter. Every slice was analysed for dry bulk density and Loss on Ignition (Organic Matter). Approximately 26 slices per core were analysed for Organic Carbon (elemental analysis). The data set provides the location coordinates for each core and the above variables for each slice that was analysed.

本数据集涵盖泰国董里府（Trang）、马来西亚柔佛州（Johor）与槟城州（Penang）、菲律宾罗克萨斯市（Roxas）各4个采样点，以及印度尼西亚北米纳哈萨县（North Minahasa）、桑义赫群岛（Sangihe Island）各6个采样点的海草床土壤碳（蓝碳，blue carbon）相关特征数据。针对每个采样点，共采集4根长度为100 cm的海草沉积物岩心，表层5 cm以1 cm间隔切割分层，后续层段则以5 cm间隔切割。对每一份沉积物切片均开展干容重（dry bulk density）与烧失量（Loss on Ignition，有机质）分析；每根岩心约取26份切片用于有机碳（Organic Carbon）元素分析。本数据集提供了每根岩心的位置坐标，以及所有受分析切片的上述各项变量数据。
