Abstract

Raw concentrations of individual PLFA compounds from Massachusetts from 2012-2015.

We conducted two sets of 13C label addition experiments. In one set, we evaluated how nutrient fertilization affected bacterial utilization of BMA carbon over a growing season. In the other set, we used 13C-labelled S. alterniflora to assess bacterial incorporation of recently-produced macrophyte detritus. Data presented are raw concentrations individual PLFA compounds (ng g-1 dry sediment) measured in surface sediments.
