Abstract

This dataset represents vertical profiles of chemistry within and above a mussel bed established in a laboratory flow tunnel at the Bodega Marine Laboratory, University of California, Davis in 2017. Alkalinity profiles using pH and O2 profiles were used to calculate calcification and respiration rates of mussel beds.

These data were generated by establishing a mussel bed in a laboratory flow tunnel. Each profile represents a period where chemistry (pH and O2) was measured at defined heights within and above the mussel bed. These profiles occurred at two places in the mussel bed. Alkalinity at the top of each profile was determined with bottle samples and interpolated to each time point. Alkalinity profiles were generated by calculating the change in alkalinity using the pH and O2 profiles. These chemical profiles were used to calculate calcification and respiration rates of the mussel bed.

Known Issues: No oxygen data was collected for profiles 1-7. This also prohibits the calculation of alkalinity profiles.
