Published by U.S. EPA Office of Research and Development (ORD) | U.S. Environmental Protection Agency | Metadata Last Checked: August 02, 2025 | Last Modified: 2023-11-09
This dataset is a collection of three spreadsheets with data that went in to the manuscript associated with this record. "Pensacola Mid Bay WQM Master_11.2023.xlsx" are data collected from Pensacola Bay, FL in 2017 and include continuous Water Quality Monitoring data from two sites in the mid-bay region of the estuary and dates when benthic surveys occurred. "Pensacola Mid Bay Environmental Data_11.2023.xlsx" are discrete water quality and sediment quality data collected from Pensacola Bay in 2016-2017. "Pensacola Mid Bay Bugs Master_11.2023.xlsx" are macrobenthic ("bugs") community data collected from Pensacola Bay in 2016-2017 and the condition index calculations and scores. Metadata are provided as separate tabs in the spreadsheets. This dataset is associated with the following publication: Paul, J., J. Nestlerode, and B. Jarvis. Timescales of Benthic Macrofaunal Response to Diel and Episodic Low Oxygen in a Subtropical Estuary. Estuaries and Coasts. Estuarine Research Federation, Port Republic, MD, USA, 47(6): 1376-1387, (2024).
