Carbon and nitrogen content and stable isotope compositions from particulate organic matter samples from lagoon, river, and open ocean sites along the Alaska Beaufort Sea coast, 2018-ongoing
Multiple water types (river, lagoon, ocean) from the North Slope of Alaska and nearshore Beaufort Sea are sampled seasonally by the Beaufort Lagoon Ecosystems LTER (BLE LTER) Core Program to investigate biogeochemical linkages between terrestrial, lagoon, and open ocean ecosystems. Water samples are collected during full ice cover (April), ice break-up (mid-June to early July), and open water (late July and August) periods, and analyzed for particulate organic carbon (POC) and particulate organic nitrogen (PON) content and stable isotopic composition.

<p><strong>Dataset abstract</strong></p> <p>This dataset contains particulate organic carbon and particulate organic nitrogen concentrations and stable isotope composition (delta 13C and delta 15N) sampled during the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE) Leg 1-3. Water samples were collected from the underway seawater supply every 3 hours, filtered onto pre-combusted glass fibre filters, acidified to remove inorganic compounds and analysed for both elements on the same filter using an elemental analyser. These samples provide an estimate of the organic carbon and organic nitrogen concentration and carbon and nitrogen stable isotope composition of living and detrital particles > 0.7 micrometres in size.</p> <p><strong>Dataset contents</strong></p> <ul> <li>README.txt, metatdata, text</li> <li>data_file_header.txt, metadata, text</li> <li>ace_uw_poc_pon_blanks_20200512CURRSGCMR.csv, data file, comma-separated values</li> <li>ace_uw_poc_pon_20200512CURRSGCMR.csv, data file, comma-separated values</li> </ul>
PARAGON 1 - KM2112 - Particulate Carbon and Nitrogen Timecourse Incubations
<p>This dataset contains measurements of particulate carbon and nitrogen concentrations collected during the PARAGON 1 expedition (KM2112) in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre. Measurements come from time-course incubation experiments initiated with whole seawater collected at 150 m using trace metal clean techniques and modified with various additions of organic carbon, iron, and/or nitrogen. Samples for measurements of particulate carbon and nitrogen concentrations were collected at multiple time points for each experimental biological replicate by filtering 4 L of seawater from polycarbonate incubation bottles onto pre-combusted 25 mm glass fiber filters (GF/F, Whatman) under positive pressure. Filters were then transferred to polystyrene Petri dishes lined with pre-combusted aluminum foil and stored at -20°C until analysis onshore. Filters were then analyzed by high temperature combustion using an Exeter CE-440 Elemental Analyzer according to Grabowski et al. (2019). Particulate carbon concentrations are measurements of total particulate carbon, including both organic and inorganic carbon. Timestamp is in UTC.</p>

Particulate organic carbon (POC) and nitrogen (PON) from Northeast U.S. Shelf Long Term Ecological Research (NES-LTER) Transect cruises, ongoing since 2017
Particulate organic carbon and nitrogen are measured from discrete bottle samples collected during CTD-rosette casts on Northeast U.S. Shelf Long-Term Ecological Research (NES-LTER) Transect cruises (ongoing since 2017). Sampling frequency is approximately seasonal. Samples were filtered and collected on combusted glass fiber filters, pelletized using ultra clean tin disks, and combusted using a Flash EA1112 CHN analyzer to calculate concentrations of particulate organic carbon and particulate organic nitrogen in micromoles per liter. Values are also reported as concentrations in micrograms per liter and carbon to nitrogen molar ratio.
Vertical fluxes of particulate carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus from a sediment trap deployed west of Palmer Station, Antarctica at a depth of 170 meters, 1992-2019.
Particulate organic matter is exported from the upper ocean euphotic zone in the form of large sinking particles and as dissolved material. Particle fluxes to depth link the surface and mesopelagic realm and supply food to the benthos. Sedimentation flux is typically measured with sediment traps of various designs. Palmer LTER has deployed a time-series trap near 64.5degrees S, 66.0degrees W since late 1992. The trap is moored in 300 m depth and collects sinking particles at 150 m. Deployments and analyses were performed by David Karl, University of Hawaii until 2002 when Hugh Ducklow took over the sediment trap operations.Sedimentation at the PAL site of the West Antarctic Peninsula demonstrates extreme seasonality, with a well-defined pulse in the Austral summer following sea ice retreat. Daily sedimentation rates during the summer flux event are among the highest recorded globally. During the Austral winter when the ocean is covered by sea ice and shrouded in darkness, fluxes are among the lowest observed anywhere. Sedimentation rates at PAL typically vary by 4 orders of magnitude. There is also order of magnitude variability in the total annual flux (area under the curve).
Chlorophyll a concentration, particulate organique carbon, and particle mean size index [gamma; 0.2 - 20 µm] measured using an hyperspectral spectrophotometer [ACS, Wetlabs] during the Tara Pacific Expedition 2016-2018
<p>The Tara Pacific expedition (2016-2018) sampled coral ecosystems around 32 islands in the Pacific Ocean, and sampled the surface of oceanic waters at 249 locations, resulting in the collection of nearly 58,000 samples (Gorsky et al. 2019, Planes et al. 2019, Flores et al. 2020). The expedition was designed to systematically study corals, fish, plankton, and seawater, and included the collection of samples for advanced biogeochemical, molecular, and imaging analysis. Here we provide the continuous dataset originating from the hyperspectral and multispectral spectrophotometers [ACS] instruments acquiring continuously during the full course of the campaign. Surface seawater was pumped continuously through a hull inlet located 1.5 m under the waterline using a membrane pump (10 LPM; Shurflo), circulated through a vortex debubbler, a flow meter, and distributed to a number of flow-through instruments. An [ACS] spectrophotometer (WETLabs) measured hyper-spectral (4 nm resolution) attenuation and absorption in the visible and near infrared except between Panama and Tahiti where an AC-9 multispectral spectrophotometer (WETLabs) was used instead. The flow was automatically directed through a 0.2 µm filter for 10 minutes every hour before being circulated through the spectrophotometer to eliminate the impact of biofouling and instrument drift and estimate particulate absorption [ap] and attenuation [cp] (Slade et al. 2010). Chlorophyll a content was estimated from particulate absorption line height at 676 nm (Boss et al. 2001). The particulate organic carbon concentration [poc] was estimated using an empirical relation (Gardner et al. 2006) between measured [poc] and measured [cp]. An indicator for size distribution of particles between 0.2 and ~20 µm [gamma] was calculated from [cp] (Boss et al 2001). The data was processed with custom software for underway optical data (InLineAnalysis software available on GitHub). The detailed information regarding the data processing is given in the processing report attached with the data and in Lombard et al. (In prep.). These results are preliminary: no matchup with in-situ chlorophyll from HPLC or [poc] measurements were performed.</p>
MOdern River archivEs of Particulate Organic Carbon: MOREPOC
<p>Modern River Archives of Particulate Organic Carbon (MOREPOC) version 1.1 is a new, open-access, georeferenced, global database, featuring data on POC in suspended particulate matter (SPM) collected at 233 locations across 121 major river systems. This database includes 3,546 SPM data entries, among which 3,053 with POC content, 3,402 with stable carbon isotope (δ<sup>13</sup>C) values, 2,283 with radiocarbon activity (Δ<sup>14</sup>C) values, 1,936 with total nitrogen content, and 299 with aluminum-to-silicon mass ratios (Al/Si). The MOREPOC database aims at being used by the Earth System community to build comprehensive and quantitative models for the mobilization, alteration, and fate of terrestrial POC.</p> <p>The supply of particulate organic carbon (POC) associated with terrigenous solids transported to the ocean by rivers plays a significant role in the global carbon cycle. To advance our understanding of the source, transport, and fate of fluvial POC from regional to global scales, databases of riverine POC are needed, including elemental and isotope composition data from contrasted river basins in terms of geomorphology, lithology, climate, and anthropogenic pressure. MOREPOC will benefit the scientific community carrying out research on riverine POC sources, transport, and fate, furthermore, helping inform and validate Earth system models to improve the ability to model and understand the global carbon cycle. Existing environmental raster global datasets for climate, geomorphology, lithology, tectonics, hydrology, and land use, also offer promising prospects for the use of MOREPOC for identifying the controls on POC fluxes and composition, in particular using advanced statistical analysis or machine learning techniques. Moreover, MOREPOC enables a better understanding of sources, transport, and fate of fluvial POC combined with some existing ocean sediment databases. Future updates of MOREPOC should include new bulk POC parameters as well as data on molecular fractions, thermal labile fractions, or specific components such as black carbon or fossil carbon, which should, in turn, provide additional insight into the alteration of riverine POC from source to sink, an essential feature of the global carbon cycle.</p> <p><strong>Data description</strong></p> <p>The MOREPOC database consists of two parts: 1) the master metadata (MOREPOC_v1.1); 2) the summarization of references and methods (MOREPOC_v1.1_RM). A Readme is provided to better understand all parameters provided in the MOREPOC v1.1 database. </p> <p>MOREPOC_v1.1 includes one table, avaible as Excel spreadsheet (.xslx), comma-limited table

Particulate organic carbon (POC) concentration in meltwater runoff of Leverett Glacier, Russell Glacier, and Isunnguata Sermia, southwest Greenland (2009-2018)
<p>This dataset describes particulate organic carbon (POC) and particulate carbon (PC) concentrations of suspended sediments in the proglacial rivers of 3 land-terminating glaciers in the Kangerlussuaq area, Southwest Greenland: Leverett Glacier (LG), Leverett River; Russell Glacier (RG), Akuliarusiarsuup Kuua; and Isunnguata Sermia (IS), Isortoq River. Both the Leverett River and Akuliarusiarsuup Kuua are tributaries of the Qinnguata Kuussua (also known as Watson River). The data have already been part of 3 different publications (Lawson et al. 2014, Kohler et al. 2017, and Vrbická et al. 2022) but are archived here for the first time.</p> <p>POC data was collected for LG during the 2009 and 2010 melt seasons (Lawson et al. 2014) as well as 2015 (Kohler et al. 2017). For the 2018 melt season, only total carbon concentrations of suspended sediments (PC) is archived as opposed to POC (see Vrbická et al. 2022).</p>
October 2001 water column particulate carbon and nitrogen concentrations for Georgia Coastal Ecosystems LTER sampling sites
Water samples were collected from the surface and the bottom of the water column at ten GCE-LTER sampling sites and from the surface of the water column during six transect surveys along the Altamaha River in October, 2001. Samples were taken at various times of day and under various tidal conditions. The particulate matter was separated by filtration and analyzed for elemental carbon and nitrogen content by CN analysis. This study was part of the GCE-LTER hydrographic monitoring program, and will be repeated quarterly.
Particulate organic carbon (POC) and nitrogen (PON) concentrations in discrete water column samples collected from lakes in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica (1993-2024, ongoing)
An important part of the McMurdo Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) is evaluating carbon and nitrogen budgets in perennial ice-covered lakes. This dataset addresses this core area of research and quantifies the particulate organic carbon (POC) and nitrogen (PON) found at specific depths in lakes across the McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica.
Total organic carbon, total nitrogen, and iron-bound organic carbon in surficial sediment and settling particulate material from Falling Creek and Beaverdam Reservoirs in 2019 and 2021
This dataset includes measurements of sediment properties (total organic carbon, total nitrogen, and iron-bound organic carbon) in surficial sediment and sedimenting material from two reservoirs: Falling Creek and Beaverdam Reservoirs, both located in Vinton, VA, USA. To measure surficial sediment properties, sediment cores were collected at the deepest site in each reservoir using a gravity corer, and the top 1 cm was frozen then lyophilized. Sediment cores were collected approximately once per month in both reservoirs throughout the stratified period (May–November) in 2019 and 2021, though sampling frequency and duration varied by reservoir and year. Sedimenting material was sampled using sediment traps suspended approximately 1 m above the sediment in both reservoirs. Iron-bound organic carbon was measured using the citrate-bicarbonate-dithionite method, and we used a CN analyzer (Elementar VarioMax, Ronkonkoma, NY, USA) to determine the amount of OC per unit mass of sediment.
Particulate organic carbon and nitrogen measurements at selected depths in the water column in the CCE region since 2006 - 2024 (ongoing).
Water column bottle samples at multiple depths are taken during CCE Process cruises (since 2006, ongoing) at various CTD stations, filtered, and stored at -20°C. Measurements of particulate organic carbon (POC) and nitrogen (PON) are performed onshore in the lab where samples are acidified, dried and analyzed by high-temperature combustion. The sample and tin capsule react with oxygen and combust at 1000°C, and the sample is broken down, thus converting organic carbon to CO2 and reducing nitrogen oxides to N2 gas. Both gases are measured by thermal conductivity. Samples analyzed within the CCE constrain the mean C:N ratio of small particulates and by difference relative to measured living biomass, the biomass of suspended detritus.
Particulate organic carbon and nitrogen measurements at selected depths in the water column from CalCOFI-CCE Augmented cruises in the California Current System, 2004 - November 2022
Water column bottle samples at multiple depths are taken during CalCOFI cruises (since 2004, ongoing) at various CTD stations, filtered, and stored at -20°C. Measurements of particulate organic carbon (POC) and nitrogen (PON) are performed onshore in the lab where samples are acidified, dried and analyzed by high-temperature combustion. The sample and tin capsule react with oxygen and combust at 1000°C, and the sample is broken down, thus converting organic carbon to CO2 and reducing nitrogen oxides to N2 gas.

Exported particulate carbon and nitrogen measurements from 4-day sediment trap deployments in the CCE region, 2007 - 2019 (ongoing).
Sediment traps are used to measure particulate export flux of organic matter from the euphotic zone at various depths (up to 100), so to better understand what flows through the water column regarding food chains in the CCE. Tubes are filled with dense seawater to create a density gradient, and are attached to a wire connected to a drifting float for up to 4 days. Samples from the recovered array of the trap material (fecal matter and other sinking particles - zooplankton removed) are filtered onto precombusted filters for analyses of particulate carbon and nitrogen flux rates for each cycle in the CCE Process cruises (since 2007, ongoing)
Primary production estimates from 14C uptake (in situ), determined by the incorporation of inorganic carbon into particulate organic carbon (POC) due to photosynthesis at selected light levels from CCE LTER process cruises in the California Current System, 2006 - 2021 (ongoing).
Primary productivity samples of seawater are taken each day shortly before noon on the CTD rosette up-cast during the CCE Process crusies (since 2006, ongoing). Light penetration below the surface is estimated from the Secchi disk depth. Niskin bottles from depths with ambient light intensities corresponding to light levels simulated by on-deck incubators are identified and sampled. Primary production is estimated from 14C uptake using this simulated in situ technique (followed by filtering) by which the assimilation of dissolved inorganic carbon by phytoplankton yields a measure (in µg/L/day) of the rate of photosynthetic primary production (particulate organic carbon, POC) at selected light levels in the euphotic zone within the CCE study area.
Fluxes of particulate organic carbon, nitrogen and mass from the Station M abyssal time series in the northeast Pacific, (1989-2022)
<p>Overview:</p> <p>This dataset provides particulate fluxes to Station M in the NE Pacific, from 1989 to 2022. Samples were collected with McLane Parflux sequencing sediment traps deployed on moorings. Data are provided for traps 50 m above bottom and 600 m above bottom, with deployment bottom depths ranging from approximately 3900 m to 4500 m. Gaps reflect lapses in funding, weather disruptions, clogs in sediment traps, or the occasional spilled sample. Where available, GPS coordinates and ship-recorded bottom depth at deployment location are given. Where these are not available, approximate location and depth are given and noted.</p> <p> </p> <p>Methods:</p> <p>This program used McLane Parflux sequencing sediment traps. Attempts to avoid sediment trap clogs, which increasingly became an issue, included replacing manufacture-supplied plastic funnels with Teflon-coated fiberglass funnels (October 2014), doubling the size of sediment trap collection cups (from 250 ML to 500 ML starting in October 2014), and adding a function that periodically agitated material in the funnel constriction (starting in June 2015).</p> <p>Before deployment, sediment trap cups were acid-washed and filled with a preservative (mercuric chloride from 1989 to 2009, 3%–5% buffered formalin from 2009 to 2022). Formalin brine recipe followed that recommended by McLane. Following sample recovery, zooplankton that many have swum into the traps were identified visually and manually removed (KLS). Samples were returned to the lab, freeze-dried, and weighed to calculate mass flux. The freeze-dried sample was analyzed for inorganic carbon content using a coulometer (UIC), and total carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen using an elemental analyzer (Perkin-Elmer or Exeter Analytical, University of California Santa Barbara Marine Science Institute Analytical Laboratory). Dry mass was corrected for salt content using a AgNO<sub>3</sub> titration (<a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0967064519302395#bib99">Strickland and Parsons, 1972</a>). Data [mass flux, particulate organic carbon flux, and total nitrogen flux] from the 600 mab trap were used. Gaps in this data set were infilled using the linear relationship between data from the 600 mab and 50 mab traps. Full details of these methods can be found in Baldwin et al. (<a href="https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1029/2022GL101018#grl65243-bib-0002">1998</a>).</p> <p>Data provided have been quality-controlled, and only usable data are included here.</p> <p> </p> <p>References:</p> <p>Baldwin, R.
