Supplementary file 1_Taxon-specific differences in C and N cycling and metabolic activity

Experimental data from ex situ pulse-chase tracer experiments conducted in the Eastern Scheldt, Netherlands, in summer and autumn 2020. The dataset likely contains measurements of stable isotope incorporation (13C, 15N, 2H) by nonnative oyster reefs and associated macrozoobenthos species. The research was authored by Tanja Stratmann and published on figshare.

Use Cases

• Compare seasonal differences in bacterioplankton consumption based on 13C and 15N tracer uptake.
• Analyze metabolic activity proxies based on deuterium oxide (2H) incorporation across species.
• Identify key species contributing to carbon and nutrient cycling in tidal flat habitats.
• Study trophic interactions between invasive Magallana gigas oysters and associated fauna.

Strengths

• Data is derived from controlled ex situ pulse-chase tracer experiments.
• Includes measurements from two distinct seasons (summer and autumn 2020).
• Focuses on multiple macrozoobenthos species, including sponges, crabs, and limpets.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is limited to a specific geographic location (Eastern Scheldt) and two time points.
