Aquatic plant bryophyte chemical properties (DP1.20063.001)

This data product contains the quality-controlled, field sampling metadata for aquatic plant and bryophyte carbon and nitrogen analyses. Benthic field samples are collected in wadeable streams, rivers, and lakes, and processed at the domain support facility. Aquatic plant and bryophyte chemistry samples are derived from clip harvest samples, collected once per year during the mid-summer aquatic biological sampling bout. Samples are collected from a known benthic area, separated by taxon in the domain lab, identified, then dried, ground, and shipped to a contracting laboratory for chemical analyses. For additional details, see the user guide, protocols, and science design listed in the Documentation section in this data product's details webpage.

Latency:
The expected time from data and/or sample collection in the field to data publication is as follows, for each of the data tables (in days) in the downloaded data package. See the Data Product User Guide for more information.
