The acetate and inorganic carbon uptake rates as determined via stable isotopic tracers from Maria S. Merian cruise MSM20-5 in 2012; data generated using the formation fluids recovered from CORKs installed at North Pond

<p>The acetate and inorganic carbon uptake rates as determined via stable isotopic tracers; data generated using the formation fluids recovered from the CORKs installed at the North Pond in 2012.</p>

<p>The North Pond is an isolated, northeast-trending, ~8 km × 15 km sediment pond located on the western flank of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR) at 22°45' N and 46°05' W.</p>

<p>Details of these CORKS and their positions, construction and depth can be found in the Proceedings of the IODP expedition 336.

<p>In addition to NSF OCE-1061934 (to Girguis), this dataset was funded by C-DEBI (OCE-0939564) sub-award number 41940192 granted to Beate Kraft.</p>
