[UNDER EMBARGO] Amino Acid Nitrogen Isotope Data from Marine Organic Matter Sources and Suspended Particulate Matter Trap samples for Source Apportionment

UNDER EMBARGO - This dataset contains marine organic matter source samples, suspended partiluate matter trap samples, and compound-specific nitrogen stable isotope data of amino acids (δ¹⁵N-AA). Source materials include phytoplankton, zooplankton, and faecal pellets from the marine fouling species Mytilus edulis, Jassa herdmani and Metridium senile.

Compound-specific nitrogen isotope ratios of individual amino acids were measured using stable isotope analysis. The dataset includes isotopic measurements for all source samples and sediment trap samples.

Explanation: See the referenced specification

Pass: Yes

Statement: The dataset is provided as an Excel workbook containing multiple sheets with raw measurements and associated metadata. The files include source sample information, carbon data, and compound-specific nitrogen isotope ratios of amino acids (δ¹⁵N-AA). No preprocessing, statistical analysis, or data transformation has been applied to the deposited files. The dataset serves as input data for downstream analyses, including isotope-based calculations and subsequent application in unmixing models.
