Carbon and Nitrogen Isotope Dynamics (Excel) [Dunton, K.]

Biological material from three levels in the ocean (POM, plankton, benthos) was collected to determine the natural abundance of d13C (carbon) and d15N (nitrogen). Isotope data were used to trace the advection of northward flowing organic material through the Bering Strait into the Chukchi and Bering Seas. Isotope signatures also provided information about the trophic links between pelagic and benthic components of the shelf and slope within the study area. These data are in Excel format.

本研究采集了海洋三层（颗粒有机物、浮游生物、底栖生物）的生物材料，以测定d13C（碳）和d15N（氮）的自然丰度。通过同位素数据分析，追踪了向北流动的有机物质通过白令海峡进入楚科奇海和白令海的运移过程。同位素特征还提供了关于研究区域内大陆架和斜坡的浮游生物与底栖生物之间营养链的信息。这些数据以Excel格式存储。
