Summary: | This data is part of the BMBF project CUSCO (Coastal Upwelling Systems in a Changing Ocean). Here we report biogenic Silica concentrations in the watercolumn collected during a 35-day experiment, where we enclosed natural plankton communities in in-situ mesocosms off Peru. The experiment investigated the interactive effects of light and upwelling on the Humboldt upwelling ecosystem by mimicking a gradient of upwelling intensities (0%, 15%, 30%, 45% and 60%) under summer-time high light and winter-time low light. Integrated seawater samples from a depth between 0 and 10m were collected using a 5L Integrating Water sampler (IWS; Hydro-Bios, Kiel). Samples (0.15-1L) were filtered onto polycarbonate filters (0.65 µm pore size, Whatman). The filters were then dried in the oven at 60 °C for 24 hours and measured following a modified procedure by DeMaster (1981, doi:10.1016/0016-7037(81)90006-5). A standard water bath (Fisher Scientific Isotemp Water Bath, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, US) was used to digest ... : Mesocosm 10 describes the control sample from the Pacificvalues marked with #: analytically undetectable ... |
