Description: 

Incubation treatment identifier. Treatments Q-R were exposed to light, treatments V-W were kept in the dark. Treatments were as follows: Q and V = +0, control; R and W = 50:50 mixture of unamended (+0, control) unfiltered water used for Q and unamended (+0, control) filtered water used for Incubation 2. The R-Q, and R-R bottles were the same light treatments as Q and R, respectively, in replicate R-labeled 4-L incubation bottles. The notation "NONE" refers to no treatment, used to describe samples collected from the carboys of experimental seawater prior to allocation into 4L incubation bottles and treatment additions. The notation "NONE, FILTERED" refers to the sample collected from the untreated carboy of filtered seawater used in the experiments. One of the incubation bottles was filled with water from the NONE, FILTERED carboy and incubated as a control with no treatment, described as "FILTERED CONTROL".
