Title: Stable isotope values for organisms collected in the Rowley River tidal creeks associated with long term fertilization experiments, Rowley, MA.
To assess differences in trophic relationships and enerygy transfer related to long term fertilization of tidal creeks (TIDE Project: https://thetideproject.org/), organisms including primary producers, invertebrates, and fish were sampled and analyzed for stable isotopes of nitrogen (δ14N) , carbon (δ13C), and sulfur (δ34S). Collections were made during summers from 2000-2018 from reference and nutrient-enriched branches of 4 tidal creeks.  more » « less

The TIDE project aims to simulate eutrophication on a large scale by the addition of NO3- aiming to reach 70µM concentrations from May to September every year during the growing season. This fertilization of the marsh has been going on at Sweeney Creek since the 2004 growing season through 2012 and at Clubhead Creek in 2005 and from 2009 till 2012. The reference creeks, West and Nelson, have been sampled in pair with the nutrient enriched creeks.

The TIDE project aims to simulate eutrophication on a large scale by the addition of NO3- aiming to reach 70μM concentrations from May to September every year during the growing season. This fertilization of the marsh has been going on at Sweeney Creek since the 2004 growing season through 2016 and at Clubhead Creek in 2005 and from 2009 till 2016. Invertebrates were sampled after fertilization ended to look at recovery.
