Impact/Purpose:
This dataset gives silica concentrations for macroalgae from Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island and Waquoit Bay, Massachusetts. Little is known about the silica concentrations in seaweed and the potentially significant role that macroalgae may play in coastal silica cycling. This dataset provides some previously unknown values for this region.
Description:
This is a dataset for biogenic silica concentrations (%BSi by dry weight) from macroalgae from two temperate estuaries: Waquoit Bay (MA, USA) and Narragansett Bay (RI, USA). Additional data on %C, del13C, and collection information is also provided.
