[STING Endmember Metals] - Dissolved trace metal concentrations from submarine groundwater wells, rivers and estuaries sampled along the West Florida Shelf for the STING project between November 2022 and March 2024 (Collaborative Research: Linking iron and nitrogen sources in an oligotrophic coastal margin: Nitrogen fixation and the role of boundary fluxes)
Listed in Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) ERDDAP
Concentrations of dissolved trace metals (Al, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Mo, Cd, Ba, Lu, Pb) from submarine groundwater wells and overlying water column, and from rivers and estuaries sampled along the West Florida Shelf.
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.
