This data gives the concentration of nutrients in sea water samples from the
water column and from sediments (pore-water) from the North Sea and English
Channel. Includes measurements for Total Oxidised Nitrogen (TOxN) Nitrite
(NO2) Phophate (P04) Silicon (Si) and Ammonia (NH4)

dataset
Samples from the water column were collected by Niskin bottles deployed on a 'CTD rosette'. Pore-water
is the sea water held in the pore-spaces of marine sediments and was sampled using by a sipper system
from 11 depth horizons in undisturbed sediment cores collected by a NIOZ box corer. Resulting water
samples were filtered and analysed using a Skalar nutrient analyser.This data is used to determine where
and how organic matter is decaying, as well as analysing sediment linkage to macronutrient cycles (N, P,
Si) via nutrient fluxes or uptake across the sediment-water interface. Samples were collected in the
English and Dutch sectors of the Greater North Sea during three cruises on RV Cefas Endeavour (Cruise
Codes CEND 15/09, CEND 11/10 and CEND 11/11)
Records include data from Defra funded project ME5301 entitled "Mapping the structure, function and
sensitivity of seabed sediment habitats to support assessment of the sea-floor status and the broadscale
monitoring and management of the benthic environment" which sampled locations in the North Sea and
western English Channel. Further details of the project can be found at:
