R: a Sediment Community Oxygen Consumption (SCOC) dataset
SCOC
R Documentation
a Sediment Community Oxygen Consumption (SCOC) dataset
Description
This literature dataset, compiled by Andersson et al. (2004) contains 584 measurements
of sediment community oxygen consumption rates, as a function of water depth, and performed in deep-water sediments, either by in situ incubations or via modelling of oxygen microprofiles.
It is used in the book to demonstrate how one can obtain order-of-magnitude estimates
of model parameters (i.c. sediment oxygen consumption rate, a measure of deposition flux) by
performing log-log regression with water depth.
Usage
SCOC
Format
a dataframe with 584 rows, and with following columns:
Depth.m, the water depth at which the measurement was performed.
SCOC.mmol/m2/d, the oxygen consumption rate of the sediment, [mmolO2/m2/d]
