Polysaccharides quantified in sediment cores from coastal vegetated ecosystems

50-cm deep sediment cores were taken in saltmarsh, seagrass, mangroves and unvegetated areas around the German Bight, Malaysia and Columbia in 2022 and 2023. Up to 3 points per ecosystem were sampled along a transect, in total 93 cores were analysed. Carbohydrates were sequentially extracted using MilliQ-water and 0.3 M EDTA for later analyses. Polysaccharides were screened using microarray analysis following the method described by Vidal-Melgosa et al. (2022). Briefly, sediment extracts from MilliQ-water and EDTA were combined in equal volumes, and 30 µL of the mixture was transferred into wells of 384-microwell plates. Two consecutive two-fold dilutions were performed using a printing buffer (55.2% glycerol, 44% water, 0.8% Triton X-100). The plates were then centrifuged at 3,500 × g for 10 minutes at 15 °C. Each microarray was individually probed with a monoclonal antibody (mAb), and binding was detected using a secondary antibody conjugated to alkaline phosphatase. In the presence of its substrate, this reaction produced a colorimetric signal. Developed arrays were scanned at 2400 dots per inch, and binding signal intensity was quantified using Array-Pro Analyzer 6.3 software (Media Cybernetics).

Nutrient concentrations from two benthic chambers and the ambient bottom water during an in-situ incubation experiment in July 2025

The dataset contains dissolved nutrient concentrations from water samples collected during a 16-day in-situ incubation experiment in the Baltic Sea (2025-07-12 to 2025-07-29). Samples were collected using an automated glass-syringe sampler deployed within two benthic chambers of a Biogeochemical Observatory (BIGO, Sommer et al., 2009) at 54° 34.432' N, 10° 10.776' E, at 22 m water depth. In one chamber, 29 g of fine calcite powder were added to the bottom water as part of an enhanced benthic calcite weathering experiment. Seven samples per chamber and from the ambient bottom water were analyzed to assess potential nutrient fluxes associated with the calcite addition and benthic biogeochemical processes.

Alkalinity concentrations from two benthic chambers and the ambient bottom water during an in-situ incubation experiment in July 2025

The dataset contains total alkalinity measurements from water samples collected during a 16-day in-situ incubation experiment in the Baltic Sea (2025-07-12 to 2025-07-29). Samples were collected using an automated glass-syringe sampler deployed within two benthic chambers of a Biogeochemical Observatory (BIGO, Sommer et al., 2009) at 54° 34.432' N, 10° 10.776' E, at 22 m water depth. In one chamber, 29 g of fine calcite powder were added to the bottom water. Seven samples per chamber and from the ambient bottom water were taken to monitor alkalinity changes resulting from calcite dissolution, providing a direct measure of the ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE)

Carbonate chemistry from laboratory incubation experiments using water samples from the Elbe conducted in 2023

This dataset comprises key carbonate chemistry parameters measured and calculated in incubation experiments under different experimental conditions. pH, water temperature, and salinity were measured with a WTW multimeter (MultiLine® Multi 3630 IDS). Total alkalinity was determined by open-cell titration with an 888 Titrando (Metrohm). Saturation state of calcite and aragonite were calculated using phreeqpython, a Python wrapper of the PhreeqC engine (Vitens 2021) with pH, water temperature, total alkalinity, and major ions as major input, and phreeqc.dat as database for the thermodynamic data (Parkhurst and Appelo 2013). As the original Elbe water was supersaturated with carbon dioxide (CO2) with respect to the atmosphere, its partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2) level decreased during the incubation period with open flasks, which caused an adjustment of calcite saturation state (ΩC) for ambient air conditions. To adapt for the impact of pCO2 variations during the experiment, saturation state of calcite and aragonite was calculated assuming an equilibrium with an atmospheric pCO2 of 415 ppm (normalized ΩC and normalized aragonite sautration state ΩA). Since ion concentrations were measured for only a small number of samples, the ion concentrations of the remaining samples were reconstructed using stoichiometry based on the initial solution composition and total alkalinity. The concentrations of conservative ions (Na+, K+, Cl-, SO42-) were assumed remain constant, while ions related to carbonate precipitation (Ca2+, Mg2+) were calculated based on changes in measured alkalinity (see Figure 5 of the associated paper). Detailed analysis and calculation procedures are described in the Method section of the associated paper.

KOSMOS 2023 Helgoland mesocosm study on ocean alkalinity enhancement: sediment trap particle flux data and water column biogeochemistry

The data presented herein originates from a mesocosm study conducted as part of the BMBF CDRmare, Retake project (grant agreement no. 03F0895A), aimed at investigating the ecological ramifications of ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE). Twelve mesocosms were deployed in Helgoland South Harbor, Germany, and systematically sampled using integrated water samplers over the period spanning from March 12th to April 20th, 2023. Six alkalinity levels under two dilution scenarios were established to differentiate between localized and uniform OAE additions. Alkalinity was increased stepwise to ΔTAmax = 1250 μmol kg-1 (250 μmol TA kg-1 increments) using sodium hydroxide (NaOH) with calcium chloride (CaCl2) to simulate cation release during calcium-based mineral dissolution, causing strong carbonate chemistry perturbations (e.g., pHT > 9.25). The dataset encompasses a spectrum of sediment trap particle flux data, water column biogeochemistry including pigment variables, inorganic nutrients, carbonate chemistry parameters. The study and data set offer insights into impacts of alkalinity enhancement on marine ecosystems and their associated biogeochemistry.

Carbonate chemistry and river discharge dataset for the Elbe from incubation experiments and historical data records

This dataset provides carbonate chemistry and hydrological measurements supporting the analysis of the stability of alkalinity and carbon transport potential in the Elbe Estuary, northern Germany. It includes (1) results from laboratory incubation experiments using water samples from the Elbe conducted in 2023, (2) historical water chemistry monitoring records from multiple stations, and (3) monthly flow discharge measurements from the Neu Darchau gauging station. Experimental data were collected from the experiments varying salinity and seasonal conditions, and parameters measured include pH, temperature, and total alkalinity. Major ion concentrations (Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Cl-, SO42-) were reconstructed from stoichiometry. The saturation states of calcite and aragonite, as well as pCO2, were calculated using the phreeqpython geochemical package. Historical data, covering carbonate chemistry and major ions at several stations and over multiple years, were collected from digitized sources and FGG Elbe. Together, this dataset facilitates the investigation of long-term trends in the carbonate system and carbon transport in the land ocean transition zone of the Elbe River.

Innovative Ansätze zur Verbesserung des Kohlenstoffspeicherpotenzials von Vegetationsküstenökosystemen, Vorhaben: Treibhausgas-Dynamik von Küstenökosystemen

Schwerpunktprogramm (SPP) 527: Bereich Infrastruktur - International Ocean Discovery Program, Untersuchung der Rolle von Vulkanismus am Beginn und Ende des Paläozän-Eozän-Temperaturemaximum basierend auf Sedimenten der IODP-Expedition 396

Es ist bekannt, dass Vulkanausbrüche das Klima auf verschiedene Weise beeinflussen. Diese reichen von kurzfristigen Auswirkungen wie Sulfat-Injektionen, die die einfallende Sonnenstrahlung reduzieren und zu Abkühlung führen, bis zu mittelfristigen Auswirkungen wie Erwärmung durch Kohlendioxid-Entgasung. Langfristig können Auswirkungen wie eine verstärkte Verwitterung eingelagerter Basalte zu einer Entfernung von Kohlendioxid und damit Abkühlung führen. Lange Perioden intensiven Vulkanismus, die als Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) bekannt sind, können besonders tiefgreifende Auswirkungen auf das Klima haben, wobei mehrere LIPs entweder mit der globalen Erwärmung oder Abkühlung in der Erdgeschichte sowie mit Massenaussterben in Verbindung gebracht werden. Das Paläozän-Eozän-Temperaturemaximum (PETM), eine 200.000 Jahre lange Periode intensiver globaler Erwärmung vor ca. 56 Millionen Jahren, ereignete sich zur gleichen Zeit wie die Entstehung eines LIP, der North Atlantic Igneous Province (NAIP). Die NAIP-Entstehung wurde als Ursache für das PETM vorgeschlagen, da während des Vulkanismus Kohlendioxid und Methan freigesetzt werden, welches zu einer schnellen Erwärmung führt. Es wurde auch vermutet, dass die Ablagerung von Vulkanasche während des NAIP das Klima abgekühlt hat. Als solches ist das PETM eine ideale Periode, um die Auswirkungen des Vulkanismus auf das Erdsystem zu untersuchen. Expedition 396 des International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) hat erfolgreich eine Reihe von langen Sedimentsequenzen aus dem PETM-Zeitalter am norwegischen Rand geborgen. In diesem Projekt beabsichtige ich, detaillierte deskriptive, geochemische und modellbasierte Untersuchungen mit den Sedimenten der Expedition 396 durchzuführen, um die Rolle des NAIP-Vulkanismus im PETM zu dokumentieren. Erstens wird die Intensität des Vulkanismus durch neue Schätzungen der Kohlendioxid-, Methan- und Sulfatemissionen bewertet, um die Rolle der Gase auf den Klimawandel zu bestimmen. Durch detaillierte geochemische Untersuchungen werden die Auswirkungen der Ascheablagerung auf den Kohlenstoffkreislauf bewertet mit Schwerpunkt auf der Rolle der Asche als Nährstofflieferant für Phytoplankton liegt. Die potenziellen Auswirkungen der Ascheablagerung auf die Speicherung von Kohlenstoff im Sediment werden ebenfalls geochemisch und isotopisch untersucht. Abschließend werden die Ergebnisse unter Verwendung von Erdsystemmodelle kombiniert, um die genaue Rolle des Vulkanismus im PETM zu bestimmen. Die erwarteten Ergebnisse werden uns neue Erkenntnisse über die Rolle der LIP-Entstehung und der Ablagerung von Vulkanasche beim Klimawandel geben. Sedimente von Expedition 396 bieten eine einzigartige Gelegenheit, den geochemischen Abdruck des Vulkanismus hochauflösend zu untersuchen. Die Ergebnisse dieser Arbeit werden zu einer erheblichen Verbesserung unseres Verständnisses des PETM führen.

Cation concentrations during benthic weathering of calcite and dunite in benthocosm experiments

Enhanced benthic weathering has been proposed to serve as a efficient negative emission strategy. The precise weatherig behaviour of calcite and dunite was investigated in leng-term experiments in benthocosms. These experiments were conducted between Sept. 2022 and Sept. 2023 ashore at the Kiel Fjord. The latter are large plastic containers (~0.8 m²) that are partly filled with sediments, with constant flow-through of Baltic Sea bottom water. The sediments, obtained from Boknis Eck in the Eckernförde Bay in March 2022, were amended with calcite and dunite in triplicate (22 mol/m² equivalent) . Three additional benthocosms were left unamended to serve as controls. The used materials were obtained from Sibelco (dunite) and from the german Lime Stone Association (calcite). Samples were obtained using benthic chambers (chamber volume of 400 ml) that were placed on the sediment for three hours. Samples were taken at the beginning (_in) and at the end of the deployment (_out). All samples were filtered through a 0.2 µm cellulose membrane filter and refrigerated in 25 ml ZinsserTM scintillation vials. Acidified sub-samples (30 μl suprapure HNO3- + 3 ml sample) were prepared for analyses of major and trace elements (Si, Na, K, Li, B, Mg, Ca, Sr, Mn, Ni and Fe) by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES, Varian 720-ES).

Element concentrations from two benthic chambers and the ambient bottom water during an in-situ incubation experiment in July 2025

The dataset contains major and trace element concentrations measured by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) from water samples collected during a 16-day in-situ incubation experiment in the Baltic Sea (2025-07-12 to 2025-07-29). Samples were collected using an automated glass-syringe sampler deployed within two benthic chambers of a Biogeochemical Observatory (BIGO, Sommer et al., 2009) at 54° 34.432' N, 10° 10.776' E, at 22 m water depth. In one chamber, 29 g of fine calcite powder were added to the bottom water to assess the potential of enhanced benthic calcite weathering as an ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) strategy. Seven samples per chamber and from the ambient bottom water were analyzed to trace elemental changes associated with calcite dissolution.
