Abstract
Sediments were collected in conjunction with infauna sampling at the Chandeleur Islands in 2015 and analyzed for porosity of depth slices of 1 cm increments for the top 5 cm and 2 cm increments for 5-15 cm depth. C and N were measured using a Costech 4010 elemental combustion system, and data are given as total N (umol), total C (umol) and C:N ratio. Sediment grain size analysis was done using standard gravitational methods and is presented as % sand, silt, and clay. Samples were collected in shallow water (0.25-1 m depth) in Haledule beds and adjacent bare sediments.
Purpose
For comparison with infaunal samples.
