Replication Data for: A Century of Sediment Metal Contamination of Mar Menor, Europe's Largest Saltwater Lagoon

The dataset Metals_Alorda-Montiel.csv includes data regarding sediment cores collected in the Mar Menor coastal lagoon. Each row corresponds to a sediment section id, which follows this structure: Corename depthmin - depthmax. Example: OPC1 0-1, which applies to the section from 0 to 1 cm from the core OPC1. The variables are Depth (in cm, and accounting for the medium depth of each section), Pb_210 (Pb-210 specific activity, in Bq/kg), Error_Pb_210 (Pb-210 specific activity error, in Bq/kg), Na (g/kg), Al (g/kg), Si (g/kg), P (mg/kg), S (g/kg), K (g/kg), Ca (g/kg), Ti (mg/kg), Cr (mg/kg), Fe (g/kg), Ni (mg/kg), Cu (mg/kg), Zn (mg/kg), As (mg/kg), Sr (mg/kg), Ag (mg/kg), Cd (mg/kg), Pb (mg/kg), Hg (mg/kg), Gravel (%), Sand (%), Silt (%) and Clay (%).

The purpose of this dataset is to show the data used in the article "A Century of Sediment Metal Contamination of Mar Menor, Europe's Largest Saltwater Lagoon".
