Description
Data on sediment grain size, carbon content, and stable isotopes were collected at five mangrove sites in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam, and Charlotte Harbor, Florida, USA, during August and September 2022. The dataset, from the Environmental Information Data Centre, was gathered to determine differences in sediment characteristics and CO2 flux between erosional and accretional coastlines. Full details are available via a provided DOI link.
Use Cases
Modeling sediment-to-atmosphere CO2 flux based on sediment characteristics like grain size and carbon content.
Comparing carbon storage and isotopic signatures between erosional and accretional mangrove sites.
Analyzing the relationship between coastal geomorphology and soil carbon dynamics in mangrove ecosystems.
Strengths
Data collection covers five distinct mangrove sites across two continents (Vietnam and USA).
Includes multiple sediment characteristics: grain size, carbon content, and carbon stable isotope analysis.
Specific collection dates are provided, with fieldwork concentrated in August-September 2022.
Limitations
Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale modeling.
The dataset is embargoed until December 31, 2026, restricting immediate access.
