[STING I Dissolved Soluble Trace Metals] - Concentrations of soluble and dissolved trace metals in water column samples and incubation experiments from STING I cruise AE2305 on R/V Atlantic Explorer over the West Florida Shelf from February to March 2023 (Collaborative Research: Linking iron and nitrogen sources in an oligotrophic coastal margin: Nitrogen fixation and the role of boundary fluxes)

This dataset includes concentrations of soluble and dissolved trace metals (Al, Sc, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, Gd, Lu, Pb) from phytoplankton shipboard incubation experiments and water column samples collected on STING I cruise AE2305 on R/V Atlantic Explorer over the West Florida Shelf from February to March 2023.

Description

This project investigates how groundwater discharge delivers important nutrients to the coastal ecosystems of the West Florida Shelf.

Preliminary studies had indicated that groundwater may supply both dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) and iron in this region. In coastal ecosystems like the West Florida Shelf that have very low nitrate and ammonium concentrations, DON is the main form of nitrogen available to organisms. Nitrogen cycling is strongly affected by iron availability because iron is essential for both photosynthesis and for nitrogen fixation.

This study investigated the sources and composition of DON and iron, and their influence on the coastal ecosystem. The team sampled offshore groundwater wells, river and estuarine waters from shore, and conducted two expeditions across the West Florida Shelf in winter and summer for surface and depth profile sampling and for shipboard incubation experiments.
