Egesta dissolved nutrient release, elemental contents, and respiration over time.

Data are divided among 3 sheets. The first sheet gives nutrient release recorded on each measurement day over 107 days. The second sheet gives egesta carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus contents over the 107 d period. C contents were used to calculate long-term decomposition rates. The third sheet gives total respiration of egesta over the first 7 days of decomposition, used to calculate short-term decomposition rates.
