Photochemical degradation of organic carbon in a eutrophic, semiarid estuary (Baffin Bay, Texas) from 2017-08-11 to 2017-10-25 (NCEI Accession 0207133)

The effect of photochemical degradation on the carbon cycle in a eutrophic, semiarid estuary (Baffin Bay, Texas) was investigated using closed-system incubations. During this study, we collected eight time series of dissolved inorganic carbon, and their stable carbon isotope data in closed-system experiments. Stable carbon isotope of dissolved organic carbon was collected at the beginning and the end of each incubation. Chlorophyll a was only measured at the beginning of each incubation. Photochemical production rate and stable carbon isotope composition of photochemical degraded DOC can be calculated.
