Nutrient Addition Experiment in the Sacramento River Deep Water Ship Channel

December 16, 2021

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 availble on NWISWeb: Site 5: https://waterdata.usgs.gov/nwis/inventory/?site_no=383114121350601&agen… CM73: ?https://waterdata.usgs.gov/nwis/inventory/?site_no=383019121350701&agen… ?Site 3: https://waterdata.usgs.gov/nwis/inventory/?site_no=382934121350601&agen…
