Abstract

This data set includes data and scripts from a field study examining the effect of diel oxygen cycling on faunal activity, and in turn sediment oxygen demand. The field experiment used in situ flow-through benthic chambers to measure oxygen consumption, as described in the methods paper Gadeken et al 2023 in L&O:Methods. The chambers were deployed and retrieved in three ~24 hour deployments in a shallow subtidal area of Bon Secour Bay in Mobile Bay, AL, in August 2021. Included in this data set ...

Five matlab script files (.m) are added as supplemental files to this dataset. They are for the data analysis and results/figures of the results paper. Some of these are run step-wise. Note that because Chamber 1 malfunctioned in all three deployments, the scripts regularly exclude that chamber in data processing and analyses. Users replicating these methods who have better luck with their chamber 1 will want to add in code modified from analysis of the other chambers to analyze those data.
