Comeback Benthic Dissolved Silica Fluxes

Dissolved silica (DSi) flux [mmol m-2d-1] measured in cores (core height: 30 cm; core diameter: 11.43 cm; sampling area: approx. 0.01 m-2) collected by hand directly from the seabed or box corer during Comeback project in the southern Baltic Sea, along the Polish coast. Sampling took place from 3.04.2019 to 27.01.2020, during spring, autumn and winter, and additionally from the shore during summer, at depths from 0.5m to 63m. Details of sampling, measurements and analysis are described in Borawska et al. (2022; https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecss.2022.107880).
