The table shows the nutrient concentration of the incubation beakers for juvenile Caryophyllia (Caryophyllia) huinayensis exposed to three sediment concentrations. A natural, a 100-fold and a 1000-fold increased sediment concentration. Recorded were the nitrate, nitrite, phosphate and ammonium values from pooled water samples of five experimental beakers and separated by sediment concentration (two measurements per sediment concentration). Samples were measured weekly over the experimental period of three months via photometer (NOVA 60, Spectroquant, Darmstadt, Germany). ... : This dataset was generated within the framework of the co-operation between the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research (programme: 'Changing Earth – Sustaining our Future', Topic 4.2), the Huinay Scientific Field Station, European Union's Horizon 2020 iAtlantic project (Grant Agreement No. 818123) and the Centre for Marine Environmental Sciences of the University of Bremen. ...
