Sediment particulate organic carbon (and nitrogen) data from marine samples
collected between 1996-2017 around England and Wales. Measurements for less
than 2mm sediment fraction or/and less than 63 micron sediment fraction are
given. Silt/clay percentage is also included (for either/both sieving and
laser methodologies) as well as sample weight where available. These data have
been collated from a variety of sources, including CSEMP monitoring, nephrops
monitoring, fishing pressures research and the NERC shelf seas programme to
support on-going investigations for the Cefas/Defra project ''Operational
indicators of seafloor integrity'. This new revision includes new data from
samples collected in 2015 to 2017, including CSEMP monitoring and MPA
monitoring surveys (core as well as surface). The work to create this revision
was conducted under work package 5 “Data Synthesis and Management of Marine
and Coastal Carbon” (C6090, NE/K001914/1) of the Shelf Sea Biogeochemistry
programme jointly funded by the National Environment Research Council (NERC)
and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) of the
United Kingdom.

Sediment organic carbon (and nitrogen) have been analysed using the following
method. Sediment samples are freeze-dried. Any material greater than 2mm is
removed. The sediment is ground (for sediment fraction less than 2mm only).
Inorganic carbon is removed using a sulphurous acid digest. Sediment OC is
measured using an elemental analyser. Silt/clay percentage is either derived
from sieving (weight of dried sediment less than 63 microns divided by total
weight of sediment as a percentage) and/or from laser diffraction. Station
data included with the results include cruise code; station number; latitude;
longitude; date sampled; relative depth of sample and grab type.
