Nutrient Addition Experiment in the Sacramento River Deep Water Ship Channel
Description
Data were collected in the Sacramento River Deep Water Ship Channel (West Sacramento, CA) in support of a whole-ecosystem experiment investigating whether phytoplankton production and biomass would respond to nitrate additions, which could potentially be exported to food-limited regions in the Sacramento–San Joaquin Delta. The experiment was conducted from July 2 to September 18, 2019.
Publications presenting ecosystem metabolism and hydrodynamic results from the experiment are under review, and a publication presenting the overall experiment results is in process.
Continuous discharge and water quality data collected at USGS stations in the study area during the experiment are available on NWISWeb:
