Benthic pulse-chase isotope tracer experiments in Loch Etive and the Ythan estuary

Digital data underpinning the findings in Woulds et al. (2016): Woulds, C., Bouillon, S., Cowie, G. L., Drake, E., Middelburg, J. J., and Witte, U.: Patterns of carbon processing at the seafloor: the role of faunal and microbial communities in moderating carbon flows, Biogeosciences, 13, 4343-4357, doi:10.5194/bg-13-4343-2016, 2016. http://doi.org/10.5194/bg-13-4343-2016 The data are derived from sediment cores and extracted from two places in Scotland: Loch Etive (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loch_Etive) and Ythan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ythan). The physical samples were processed in a number of ways for specific purposes as outlined in Woulds et al. (2016). Some of the analyses are destructive, and the remaining physical samples have not been preserved.
