Sediment chemical data, Lake Hazen, Nunavut, Canada, August 4th to 8th, 2016
This data on porewater chemical concentrations of NH 4 + , NO 2 - /NO 3 - , SO 4 2- , TDP and Cl - , and microprobe data on O 2 , redox potential, and pH in the sediments of Lake Hazen in August 2016 was gathered for a metagenomic study on the structure and functional potential of the sediment micro...
