| Summary: | These data are part of the ASGARD component of the Arctic Integrated Ecosystem Research Program (IERP), sponsored by the North Pacific Research Board (NPRB), Collaborative Alaskan Arctic Studies Program (formerly the North Slope Borough/Shell Baseline Studies Program), Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), and the Office of Naval Research Marine Mammals and Biology Program. Sediment community oxygen consumption rates reflect the net respiration of the whole infaunal community, including microbes, meiofauna, and macrofauna. These data can be used to calculate carbon demand of the benthic community. We conducted whole-core incubation experiments using intact sediment cores collected from replicate multi-core deployments at each ASGARD process station where substrate was conducive to coring. Incubations were conducted at ~0 degrees and 5 degrees C to approximate ambient and future temperatures. |
