Data sets

Biogeochemical data at a Mediterranean mussel farm, Northern Adriatic Sea D. Brigolin, C. Rabouille, B. Bombled, S. Colla, S. Vizzini, R. Pastres, and F. Pranovi https://doi.org/10.17882/53945

Short summary

We present the result of a study carried out in the north-western Adriatic Sea by combining two different types of models with field sampling. A mussel farm was taken as a local source of perturbation to the natural flux of particulate organic carbon to the sediment. Differences in fluxes were primarily associated with mussel physiological conditions. Although restricted, these changes in particulate organic carbon fluxes induced visible effects on sediment biogeochemistry.
