iNEST_OGS_biogeochemical_dataset_sediments_2024-2025

The dataset includes physico-chemical variables of sediments, ecosystem processes, and benthic biota communities (microphytobenthos and macrozoobenthos), investigated in front of the Isonzo River mouth (northern Adriatic Sea). Sampling was carried out at six stations distributed along two transects: one oriented coast–offshore and one parallel to the coastline near the river mouth. Data were collected during two seasons, one month after river plume events: following one large autumn plume (November 2024) and several winter-spring plumes (June-July 2025). N.A. are not available data. This study was funded by the European Union - NextGenerationEU, in the framework of the iNEST - Interconnected Nord-Est Innovation Ecosystem (iNEST ECS00000043 – CUP F43C22000190006). The views and opinions expressed are solely those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union, nor can the European Union be held responsible for them. The dataset was developed as part of the activities carried out by Spoke 8, RT1 (Biology of hydrosphere ecosystems), Task S8_RT1.3.1 (Biological and biogeochemical data integration for local blue carbon managing).
