A meta-collection of nitrogen and carbon stable isotope data measured in Arctic marine organisms from the Canadian Beaufort Sea shelf region, 1983-2013

The associated dataset contains nitrogen and carbon stable isotope data measured in marine organisms from the Canadian Beaufort continental shelf region between 1983-2013, gathered from published and unpublished sources. The dataset was compiled for the purpose of cross-validating trophic level estimates calculated from a mass-balance food web model (Ecopath with Ecosim) with those calculated from nitrogen stable isotope data (Hoover et al. 2021). However, the meta-collection may be of broad use for trophic and ecological investigations in the Arctic.本关联数据集包含1983至2013年间采自加拿大波弗特陆架海域海洋生物的氮、碳稳定同位素数据，相关数据从已发表与未发表的资料中汇编而来。本数据集的编制目的为交叉验证两种方法得到的营养级估算结果：一种基于质量平衡食物网模型（Ecopath with Ecosim），另一种基于氮稳定同位素数据（胡佛等，2021）。不过，该汇编数据集亦可广泛应用于北极地区的营养生态与生态学研究。
