EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN AND METHODS:
Water samples were collected and filtered (GF/F glass fiber), and frozen for later analysis. For laboratory analytical procedures, see ANALYTICAL METHODS.
NOTES AND COMMENTS:
VARIABLE DESCRIPTION:
CREEK = creek sampled
STATE X = x coordinates (meters) in MA state plane NAD 83
STATE Y = y coordinates (meters) in MA state plane NAD 83
LAT = Latitude in NAD 83 geographic coordinates (decimal degrees)
LON = Longitude in NAD 83 geographic coordinates (decimal degrees)
DATE = date (dd-mmm-yyyy)
TIME = time 24 hr (hh:mm)
TIDE = stage and direction of tide
when sample was collected
BRANCH = branch of creek sampled
SAL = salinity (ppt)
NO3 = nitrate + nitrite (µM-N)
PO4 = soluble reactive phosphorus
(µM-P)
NH4 = ammonium (µM-N)
TDN = total dissolved nitrogen (µM-N)
DON = dissolved organic nitrogen
(µM-N)
TDP = total dissolved phosphorus
(µM-P)
DOP = dissolved organic phosphorus
(µM-P)
DOC = dissolved organic carbon (uM-C)
CHLA = chlorophyll a (ug/L)
PART C = particulate carbon (uM-C)
PART N = particulate nitrogen (uM-N)
CALCULATIONS:
DON = TDN - NH4 - NO3
DOP = TDP - PO4
