©2020 Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office.Here we provide data that help to evaluate organic matter sulfurization and pyrite formation in a salt marsh in California. We collected six sediment cores from three habitat types at Carpinteria Salt Marsh Reserve (34.41336°N, 119.84365°W) in July 2020. One core was used to establish dry bulk density, while the other was reserved for geochemical measurements. Both cores were kept at -20°C until analysis could be carried out. We provide elemental concentrations (organic C/N/S, Fe, pyrite) and is...
Show moreWe collected six sediment cores from three habitat types at Carpinteria Salt Marsh Reserve (34.41336°N, 119.84365°W) in July 2020. One core was used to establish dry bulk density, while the other was reserved for geochemical measurements. Both cores were kept at -20°C until analysis could be carried out. We provide elemental concentrations (organic C/N/S, Fe, pyrite) and isotopic compositions (δ13C, δ34S) of important carbon, iron and sulfur sediment pools. Additional biomass samples were collected between 2020 and 2023 and were also analyzed for elemental (C/N/S) and isotopic compositions (δ13C, δ34S).
