Dataset: Vulnerability of blue carbon stocks to disturbance in sediments with low burial efficiency

Update Summary (V2) This update includes the R scripts and datasets required to reproduce the plots and statistical analyses used in this study. Below is a list of the R files with corresponding figure numbers and the input files required for each script to run. Figure_2_3_GSA.R · Figure 2: Cluster analysis of grain size distributions (reads dataset: GSA_data_FG.csv) · Figure 3: Grain size distribution plots for individual cores (reads dataset: R_format_all.txt) PC003_Figure4.R · Produces plots for core PC003 as an example (reads dataset: PC003_samplesummary_R.txt, PC003_Bchron.csv and PC003_Bchron_results.txt) · To run for other cores, update the code with the desired core number and depth · Input files for cores PC004, PC005, and GC009 are available on Zenodo Figure_5_6_7_TOC_TGA.R · Figure 5: TOC vs. Depth (0–100 cm) for all cores (reads dataset: FG_all_TOC_mud.txt) · Figure 6a: TOC/mud vs. Depth (0–10 cm) relationships for all cores (reads dataset: FG_all_TOC_mud.txt) · Figure 6b: TN/TOC vs. Depth (0–10 cm) relationships for all cores (reads dataset: NTOC_depth_all.txt) · Figure 7: Thermogravimetric analysis profiles for PC003, PC004, and PC005 (reads dataset: FG_reactivity.csv) Figure_8_FG_age_depth.R · Plots calibrated radiocarbon dates (this study and published; reads dataset: FG_dates_published_new.txt) · Generates Bchron age-depth model (Figure 8; reads dataset: FG_Bchron_all.csv and FG_Bchron_Out_results.txt) Figure_9_BSS_RSL.R · Loads dataset containing Bed Shear Stress (BSS), Relative Sea Level (RSL), and Mean Water Depth over time (FG_BSS_R.csv) ------------------------------- V1 Files contain the following data for sediment cores PC003, PC004, PC005 and GC009: Dry bulk density (g/cm3) Water content (%) Gravel content (%) Sand content (%) Mud content (%) Folk scheme category CaCO3 (%) Total Carbon (TC; %) Total Inorganic Carbon (TIC; %) Total Organic Carbon (TOC; %) Total Nitrogen (TN; %) TN/TOC Core ID Latitude (°N) Longitude (°E) Water depth (m) Core length (cm) PC003 58.118 0.270 147 832 PC004 58.375 0.516 151 793 PC005 58.516 0.417 145 646 GC009 59.767 -0.445 141 180
