Rates of anaerobic oxidation of methane, methanogenesis, and sulfate reduction measured with radiotracers aboard R/V Haiyang IV, in the Shenhu area of Northern South China Sea on 2015-09-15

This dataset contains data on rates of anaerobic oxidation of methane, methanogenesis, and sulfate reduction measured with radiotracers in the Shenhu area of Northern South China Sea on 2015-09-15 aboard R/V Haiyang IV. Microbial activity and diversity were investigated to elucidate methane cycling in the sulfate-reducing sediments of South China Sea. The dataset also contains longitude, latitude, depth, and date of sample collection. This dataset supports the publication of Xu, Lei, Guang-Chao Zhuang, Andrew Montgomery, Qianyong Liang, Samantha B. Joye, and Fengping Wang. 2020. Methyl‐compounds driven benthic carbon cycling in the sulfate‐reducing sediments of South China Sea. Environmental Microbiology 23(2): 641-651. DOI:10.1111/1462-2920.15110
