Description
Summary:This dataset contains measurements at each station of benthic parameters, benthic chlorophyll-a values (integrated water column chlorophyll-a, sediment chlorophyll-a), benthic faunal parameters (abundance, biomass (g/m2), biomass (gC/m2), number of taxa), sediment grain size values, Total organic carbon (TOC), TON, C/N, and sediment oxygen uptake rates. Samples included in this dataset were collected from March 13- 26, 2008 from the United States Coast Guard Icebreaker Healy (WAGB-20). Samples collected on the Healy were funded through the National Science Foundation Bering Sea Ecosystem Study-Bering Sea Integrated Ecosystem Research Program (BEST-BSIERP). BEST-BSIERP together are the Bering Sea project.
