Cite Dataset

This dataset includes diatom silica production rates, and concentrations quantified using 32Si and PDMPO (see below) tracers. Gross and biomass-normalized silica measurements from 12 hour and 24 hour incubations are provided as well as concentrations of phosphate, nitrate+nitritie, total chlorophyll, chlorophyll a, phaeopigments, and CTD measurements (e.g. temperature, salinity).

PDMPO = 2-(4-pyridyl)-5-((4-(2-dimethylaminoethylaminocarbamoyl)methoxy)phenyl)oxazole
