Loss on ignition, water content, and pH measurements in surface sediments within DynaCom experimental islands and saltmarsh enclosed plots at different elevation levels, Spiekeroog, Germany, 2023-01 to 2023-08

Data presented here were collected between January 2023 to August 2023 within the research unit DynaCom (Spatial community ecology in highly dynamic landscapes: From island biogeography to metaecosystems) of the Universities of Oldenburg, Göttingen, and Münster, the iDiv Leipzig and the Nationalpark Niedersächsisches Wattenmeer. Experimental islands and saltmarsh enclosed plots were created in the back barrier tidal flat and in the saltmarsh zone of the island of Spiekeroog. Sediment samples for the determination of pH, water content and loss on ignition were taken bi-/monthly in surface sediments (0-3 cm depth) from the experimental plots. Samples were taken between 3 hours before and 3 hours after low tide. Samples were stored dark and cool (8 °C) until measurement. Samples were measured in the laboratory within two months after sampling. Water content (w, [-]) was determined by first weighing the fresh sample (mf; ~ 3-7 g) in pre-weighed aluminium trays and than placed in the drying chamber at 105 °C for 12 hours. After placing samples in the exsiccator for 60 min., samples were re-weight to determine dry weight (md). Water content was calculated using w = (mf - md) / md . Afterwards, samples were placed in the muffle furnace for 2 hours at 430 °C within their aluminium trays, and placed again in the exsiccator for 60 min. Samples were re-weighed to determine the new dry weight (mgl) to calculate loss on ignition (LOI, [%]) using LOI = ((md – mgl) / md ) * 100 . Values of pH were measured according to DIN ISO 10390. Therefore, soil samples were weighed in pre-weighed Falcon™ 50 mL conical centrifuge tubes. Sediment samples were homogenized using a pestle. Ultrapure water was used to measure pH directly within the tubes using a HQ40D digital two channel multi meter and an Intellical PHC101 field low maintenance gel filled pH electrode (Hach Lange GmbH, Germany). The pH electrode was calibrated before measurement using singlet pH buffer sets (pH 4.01, 7.00, 10.01) for single use (Hach Lange GmbH, Germany). Post-processing of measured values were done using MATLAB (R2024b). Quality control was performed by (a) visually checks, and hence (b) the classification into quality control flags using quality check algorithms.

Organic matter content from sediment cores of coastal vegetated ecosystems in Colombia, Germany and Malaysia using stepwise loss on ignition

This dataset contains measurements of the top 50cm of sediment collected between 2021 and 2023 as part of the project sea4soCiety. Sampling took place in three locations each on the North Sea and Baltic Sea coast of Germany, the coasts of peninsular Malaysia and the Caribbean coast of Colombia. To quantify the storage capacity of blue carbon in coastal vegetated ecosystems (mangrove forests, saltmarsh, and seagrass meadows) and unvegetated marine sediments in each location and ecosystem five to nine 50 cm deep sediment cores were collected using a peat sampler (5.2 cm diameter, 50 cm length, Royal Eijkelkamp). Sediment cores were split visually according to visible physicochemical layers and each layer was thoroughly homogenized. Sub-samples for organic matter analyses were frozen at -20°C prior to freeze-drying. Freeze-dried material was pulverized with a ball mill (LLC Planetary Micro Mill PULVERISETTE 7 premium line, FRITSCH) at 500 rpm for 3 min. To determine the organic matter content (containing organic carbon) 3 g freeze-dried and pulverized sediment was stepwise combusted for 4h at 180°C, 300°C, 400°C and 500°C in a muffle oven (M110, Heraeus).

GEMAS – Geochemische Kartierung der Acker- und Grünlandböden Europas, Parameter und Indizes, LOI (Glühverlust)

GEMAS (Geochemical Mapping of Agricultural and Grazing Land Soil in Europe) ist ein Kooperationsprojekt zwischen der Expertengruppe „Geochemie“ der europäischen geologischen Dienste (EuroGeoSurveys) und Eurometeaux (Verbund der europäischen Metallindustrie). Insgesamt waren an der Durchführung des Projektes weltweit über 60 internationale Organisationen und Institutionen beteiligt. In den Jahren 2008 und 2009 wurden in 33 europäischen Ländern auf einer Fläche von 5 600 000 km² insgesamt 2219 Ackerproben (Ackerlandböden, 0 – 20 cm, Ap-Proben) und 2127 Grünlandproben (Weidelandböden, 0 – 10 cm, Gr-Proben) entnommen. Neben den chemischen Elementgehalten wurden in den Proben auch Bodeneigenschaften und -parameter wie der pH-Wert, die Korngrößenverteilung, die effektive Kationenaustauschkapazität (CEC), MIR-Spektren und die magnetische Suszeptibilität untersucht sowie einige Koeffizienten berechnet. Die Downloaddateien zeigen die flächenhafte Verteilung des ermittelten LOI (Glühverlust) in Form von farbigen Isoflächenkarten.

Loss on ignition, water content, and pH measurements in surface sediments (2014-2018) within BEFmate experimental islands and saltmarsh enclosed plots at different elevation levels, Spiekeroog, Germany, 2014-10 to 2018-11

Data presented here were collected between October 2014 to November 2018 within the BEFmate project (Biodiversity - Ecosystem Functioning across marine and terrestrial ecosystems, https://uol.de/icbm/verbundprojekte/abgeschlossene-projekte/befmate/) of the Universities of Oldenburg and Göttingen and the Nationalpark Niedersächsisches Wattenmeer. Experimental islands and saltmarsh enclosed plots were created in the back barrier tidal flat and in the saltmarsh zone of the island of Spiekeroog.

The loss on ignition analysis data (short sediment cores from the Arcona, Bornholm, and Gdansk Basins of the Baltic Sea)

The data for the paleoenvironmental study was obtained on the basis of complex analysis of short sediment cores retrieved in the Arcona, Bornholm, and Gdansk Basins of the Baltic Sea. The cores were collected using a short gravity sediment corer (Niemistö type). The upper layers (0-5 cm) of sediment cores were stained with the 80% ethanol solution of rose Bengal following the protocol (Schönfeld et al., 2012) and were used only for the microfossil analysis. The rests of the cores (below the 5 cm) were continuously sampled with the 1 cm step and were used for the loss on ignition (LOI), microfossil, X-ray fluorescence (XRF), and grain-size analyzes. For the LOI analysis the 1 g of dried sediments was burned at 550 °C for ~ 4 hours. The organic matter content was determined as resulting weight difference in % (Binczewska et al., 2018).

Concentrations of selected elements and organochlorine pesticides in layers of dated sediment cores of ten lakes in northeastern Germany

Lake sediment chronologies of ten lakes in northeastern Germany (Arendsee [AS], Carwitzer See [CR], Feldberger Haussee [FH], Breiter Luzin [BL], Schmaler Luzin [SL], Oberuckersee [OR], Scharmützelsee [PL], Stechlinsee [ST], Tiefwarensee [TF], Großer Wummsee [WM]) were created to reconstruct anthropogenic activity over the past 100 years starting from 2015 as the most present date. Collection of samples took place between 2015-07-10 and 2015-09-04 for all but one lake which was re-sampled in December 2016 (ST). Cores of lake sediments were collected using a gravity corer (90 mm diameter; UWITEC, Mondsee, Austria). Minimum length of the cores was 1 m. Cores were sliced immediately at the shore of each lake into 5 mm (lakes FH and BL) or 10 mm samples (all other lakes). Sliced cores were stored at 4 °C until arrival at the IGB laboratory at Lake Stechlin. There, they were weighed and then frozen at -20 °C for storage until further processing. Loss of ignition was determined using an electric muffle furnace (SNOL 8,2/1100, Utena, Lithuania). Dating of each sliced core horizon was performed by direct gamma assay of isotopes 210Pb and 137Cs of a freeze-dried subsample (1 g). Depending on the lake, a time span starting with the sampling year (i.e. 2015/2016) and reaching back to at least the 1950s and at most to pre-1900s was covered. Concentrations of elements (aluminium, arsenic, calcium, cadmium, cobalt, chromium, copper, iron, potassium, magnesium, manganese, molybdenum, sodium, nickel, phosphorus, lead, sulphur, zinc) were determined with microwave-assisted aqua-regia (MAE-AR) extraction in conjunction with inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). Concentrations of organic pesticides DDX (2,4'- and 4,4'- congeners of each dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane [DDT], dichlorodiphenyldichloroethane [DDD] and dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene [DDE]), hexachlorobenzene (HCB), HCHs (α-, β-, γ-, δ-hexachlorocyclohexane [HCH]) and trifluralin were extracted applying miniaturized solid-liquid extraction (MISOLEX; Simon et al. 2021, doi:10.1007/s11368-021-03080-0). Extracts were measured with solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).
