Modern deep-sea coral (Desmophyllum dianthus) nitrogen isotopes from samples collected between 1961 and 2009 (DeepSeaCoralNitrogen project)

<p>This dataset contains d15N isotope data and nitrogen content from scleractinian coral (Desmophyllum dianthus)&nbsp;samples obtained from various specimen collections. &nbsp;The original coral samples were collected at a variety of sites worldwide between 1961 and 2009. &nbsp;Coral age from radiocarbon dating and Uranium-Thorium dating, sample depth, latitude, and longitude are also included. &nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>These data were published as supplemental&nbsp;table S1 in:</strong></p>
