Sediment-water oxygen and nutrient flux data Narragansett Bay

These data on oxygen and nutrient fluxes across the sediment-water interface were collected in Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island, USA, 1973-1974, at six stations, using in situ bottom chambers. The purpose was to assess the importance of these fluxes in the nutrient cycles of this estuary. Results showed that the benthic communities play an important role and are tightly coupled with the pelagic communities.

本数据集采集了美国罗德岛州纳拉甘西特湾1973至1974年间6个站位的沉积物-水界面氧通量与营养盐通量数据，采集过程采用原位底部舱（in situ bottom chambers）完成。本研究旨在评估此类通量在该河口营养盐循环中的重要性。研究结果显示，底栖生物群落（benthic communities）发挥着关键作用，且与浮游生物群落（pelagic communities）存在紧密的耦合关系。
