Full description
The data set contains seagrass soil carbon (blue carbon) characteristics for four sites in each of Thailand (Trang), Malaysia (Johor and Penang) and The Philippines (Roxas), and for six sites in Indonesia (North Minahasa and Sangihe Island). For each site, four seagrass cores (100 cm long) were collected and then sliced at 1 cm intervals for the top 5 cm and for 5 cm intervals thereafter. Every slice was analysed for dry bulk density and Loss on Ignition (Organic Matter). Approximately 26 slices per core were analysed for Organic Carbon (elemental analysis). The data set provides the location coordinates for each core and the above variables for each slice that was analysed.
Notes
The data were collected as part of the Seagrass Ecosystems Services Project by ECU and Yapeka (in Indonesia), SAN (in Thailand), MareCet (in Malaysia) and C3 (in The Philippines). The data are intended to inform climate change mitigation initiativces and seagrass conservation and are free for use with acknowledgement and if subsequent products are made available under the same license terms (CC BY-SA).
