Quantifying denitrifier functional marker gene abundance from sediments associated with co-occurring Avicennia sp. and Spartina sp. in Chandeleur Islands salt marsh seven and eight years post Deepwater Horizon from 2017-05-30 to 2018-06-13

This dataset was generated from a study in which sediments were collected from Chandeleur Islands salt marshes to examine the effect of oil exposure on denitrifier functional abundance within sediments associated with Avicennia sp. and Spartina sp. Genomic DNA was extracted from the top 0-7cm of sediment cores at five time points over the course of 2 years (2017-2018) from two salt marsh sampling sites at the Chandeleur Islands. Additional data from this study can be found under GRIIDC Unique Dataset Identifier (UDI): R4.x262.000:0052 (DOI: 10.7266/4BSSB0AZ).
