attribute NC_GLOBAL acquisition_description String Samples were collected from the Sage Lot Pond salt marsh tidal creek in\nWaquoit Bay, MA at approx. 41.5546N, 70.5071W.\n \nDiscrete bottle samples were collected at ~30 cm above the bottom of the tidal\ncreek every 1-2 h at the sampling site using a peristaltic or diaphragm pump\nfor periods of a full tidal cycle (~12\\u201314 h). DIC collection and analysis\nfollowed standard best practice procedures outlined by Dickson et al. (2007).\nSamples were collected through purgeable capsule filters with 0.45 \\u03bcm\npore size (Farrwest Environmental Supply, Texas, USA) into 250 mL borosilicate\nbottles, poisoned with 100 uL saturated mercuric chloride, sealed with a glass\nstopper coated with APIEZON\\u00ae \\u2013 L grease, and se- cured with a rubber\nband.\n \nDIC was analyzed using an Apollo SciTech DIC auto-analyzer (Model AS-C3),\nwhich uses a nondispersive infrared (NDIR) method. The sample is acidified\nwith a 10% phosphoric acid in 10% sodium chloride solution, and CO2 is purged\nwith high purity nitrogen gas and measured by a LI-COR 7000 infrared analyzer\n(LI-COR Environmental, Nebraska, USA). Certified Reference Material (CRM) from\nDr. A. Dickson at Scripps Institution of Oceanography was used to calibrate\nthe DIC auto-analyzer at least once daily. In addition, CRM was measured as a\nsample every few hours to gauge and correct any potential drift. The precision\nand accuracy of the instrument was ~ \\u00b12.0 \\u03bcmol kg-1.\n \nTA was measured with an Apollo SciTech alkalinity auto-titrator (Model AS-\nALK2), a Ross combination pH electrode and a pH meter (ORION 3 Star) to\nperform a modified Gran titration [Wang and Cai, 2004]. The electrode and\nconcentration of hydrochloric acid was calibrated every day. The CRMs were\nalso measured as samples every few hours to correct any potential small drift.\nThe accuracy and precision of the instrument was about \\u00b1 2.0 \\u03bcmol\nkg-1.\n \nAn EXO2 Multiparameter Sonde (YSI Inc., Yellow Springs, OH) was submerged in\nthe tidal creek to measure temperature and salinity. The YSI EXO2 recorded at\nintervals ranging from 2 min to 8 min. Reported YSI EXO2 sensor accuracy\nspecifications are: 1% of the reading for salinity and 0.05 \\u00b0C for\ntemperature.

attribute NC_GLOBAL instruments_0_description String The LI-7000 CO2/H2O Gas Analyzer is a high performance, dual cell, differential gas analyzer.  It was designed to expand on the capabilities of the LI-6262 CO2/ H2O Gas Analyzer.  A dichroic beam splitter at the end of the optical path provides radiation to two separate detectors, one filtered to detect radiation absorption of CO2 and the other to detect absorption by H2O.  The two separate detectors measure infrared absorption by CO2 and H2O in the same gas stream.  The LI-7000 CO2/ H2O Gas Analyzer is a differential analyzer, in which a known concentration (which can be zero) gas is put in the reference cell, and an unknown gas is put in the sample cell.

attribute NC_GLOBAL instruments_4_description String A Dissolved Inorganic Carbon (DIC) analyser, for use in aquatic carbon dioxide parameter analysis of coastal waters, sediment pore-waters, and time-series incubation samples. The analyser consists of a solid state infrared CO2 detector, a mass-flow controller, and a digital pump for transferring accurate amounts of reagent and sample. The analyser uses an electronic cooling system to keep the reactor temperature below 3 degrees Celsius, and a Nagion dry tube to reduce the water vapour and keep the analyser drift-free and maintenance-free for longer. The analyser can handle sample volumes from 0.1 - 1.5 millilitres, however the best results are obtained from sample volumes between 0.5 - 1 millilitres. It takes approximately 3 minutes per analysis, and measurement precision is plus or minus 2 micromoles per kilogram or higher for surface seawater. It is designed for both land based and shipboard laboratory use.

attribute NC_GLOBAL instruments_5_dataset_instrument_nid String 768597
attribute NC_GLOBAL instruments_5_description String Comprehensive multi-parameter, water-quality monitoring sondes designed for long-term monitoring, profiling and spot sampling. The EXO sondes are split into several categories: EXO1 Sonde, EXO2 Sonde, EXO3 Sonde. Each category has a slightly different design purpose with the the EXO2 and EXO3 containing more sensor ports than the EXO1. Data are collected using up to four user-replaceable sensors and an integral pressure transducer. Users communicate with the sonde via a field cable to an EXO Handheld, via Bluetooth wireless connection to a PC, or a USB connection to a PC. Typical parameter specifications for relevant sensors include dissolved oxygen with ranges of 0-50 mg/l, with a resolution of +/- 0.1 mg/l, an accuracy of 1 percent of reading for values between 0-20 mg/l and an accuracy of +/- 5 percent of reading for values 20-50 mg/l. Temp ranges are from-5 to +50 degC, with an accuracy of +/- 0.001 degC. Conductivity has a range of 0-200 mS/cm, with an accuracy of +/-0.5 percent of reading + 0.001 mS/cm and a resolution of 0.0001 - 0.01 mS/cm.

attribute NC_GLOBAL projects_0_acronym String Salt Marsh Paradox
attribute NC_GLOBAL projects_0_description String NSF Award Abstract:\nCarbon production in vegetated coastal systems such as marshes is among the highest in the biosphere. Resolving carbon production from marshes and assessing their impacts on coastal carbon cycling are critical to determining the long-term impacts of global change such as ocean acidification and eutrophication. In this project, researchers will use new methods to improve the assessment of carbon production from salt marshes. The overarching goals are to understand the role of coastal wetlands in altering carbonate chemistry, alkalinity, and carbon budgets of the coastal ocean, as well as their capacity to buffer against anthropogenically driven chemical changes, such as ocean acidification. This project will involve training for undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral researchers, and will provide educational opportunities for students from a local Native American tribe.\n\nTidal water, after exchange with intertidal salt marshes, contains higher total alkalinity (TA), higher carbon dioxide, but lower pH. These highly productive, vegetated wetlands are deemed to export both alkalinity and dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) to the ocean. This creates an apppartent paradox in that salt marshes are both an acidifying and alkalizing source to the ocean. Limited studies suggest that marsh DIC and alkalinity export fluxes may be a significant player in regional and global carbon budgets, but the current estimates are still far too uncertain to be conclusive. Unfortunately, tidal marsh ecosystems have dramatically diminished in the recent past, and are likely to diminish further due to sea level rise, land development, eutrophication, and other anthropogenic pressures. To assess the potential impacts of this future change, it is imperative to understand its current status and accurately evaluate its significatce to other parts of the carbon cycle. Similarly, little is know about the distinct sources of DIC and alkalinity being exported from marshes via tidal exchange, although aerobic and various anaerobic respiration processes have been indicated. In this study, researchers will undertake an in-depth study using new methods to vastly improve export fluxes from intertidal salt marshes through tidal exchange over minutes to annual scales, characterize and evaluate the compostiion (carbonate versus non-carbonate alkalinity) of marsh exported TA, the role and significance of the DOC pool in altering carbonate chemistry and export fluxes, identify sources of DIC being exported in tidal water, and investigate how marsh export of TA and DIC impacts carbonate chemistry and the carbon and alkalinity budgets in coastal waters.
