Nutrient and Primary Production Data for Coastal Creeks Feeding Keppel Bay

Investigations into the coastal creek system augment limited prior water quality data from the Queensland EPA. The consolidated dataset supports a conceptual model of interacting processes for Keppel Bay's biogeochemistry. Data was collected under the Fitzroy agricultural contaminants project and Coastal CRC, hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Use Cases

• Modeling nutrient transport from land to sea based on water quality parameters mentioned in the description
• Analyzing pelagic primary production dynamics in coastal creeks based on the described investigations
• Developing quantitative characterizations of coastal creek roles in bay biogeochemistry based on the conceptual model
• Assessing agricultural contaminant impacts on coastal water quality based on the project focus

Strengths

• Augments a previously limited dataset from the Queensland Environmental Protection Agency
• Supports the development of a quantitative characterization for a defined bay system

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the specific creek system studied
