Summary

This data set includes a variety of bulk organic carbon, lignin-phenol biomarker, and sedimentation rate data from a set of sites in the Blackwater Marsh in Chesapeake Bay. At each site, a short core was taken, and all data is organized according to depth below the marsh surface. Data includes: Bulk %OC, bulk %N, atomic carbon:nitrogen ratios, stable carbon isotopes (d13C) Lignin-phenol biomarker parameters, including 8, Ad:Alv, C:V, S:V, and the individual concentrations of each lignin-phenol (in lambda units, or mg per 100 mg OC). Pb-210 and Cs-137 activities Sediment bulk densities In addition to the sediment core data, we are also including d13C values from vegetation samples collected from each of the marsh sites. These values [...]

Purpose

These data were collected as part of a larger project run by Glenn Guntenspergen (one of the data set authors), studying the transgression of a coastal marsh into an upland forest.
