Abstract:

Sediment samples, Sesarma reticulatum gut and tissue samples, Spartina alterniflora leaves, and benthic diatoms were analyzed for a suite of biogeochemical parameters, including total carbon, total nitrogen, stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen, and a subset of samples were analyzed for total hydrolyzable amino acids. Samples were collected between 2017 and 2019 on Sapelo Island, Georgia, USA. Samples were collected from Sesarma-grazed and un-grazed creeks. Analyses were conducted at the University of Florida and are associated with the manuscript by Morrison et al. entitled Influence of the keystone grazer, Sesarma reticulatum, on the hydrology and organic matter cycling of salt marshes in the southeastern United States.

Methods and protocols used in the collection of this data package

Description:

Sample collection. Samples for elemental and stable isotope analyses were collected between 2017 and 2019. Crab gut contents were analyzed to characterize changes in the composition of organic matter as it undergoes Sesarma processing. In 2019, crabs were collected from Sapelo Island and gut samples were collected from the fore- and hind-guts of 175 individuals from three size classes [small (8.0-13.7 mm); medium (11.4-16.8 mm), and large (17.0-22.2 mm)]. Whole Sesarma crabs and their tissues were collected in 2017. To identify Sesarma dietary sources, live Spartina leaves were collected and benthic diatoms were grown at the University of Florida, using methods similar to (Borst et al., 2018). To evaluate differences in sediment OM between grazed and un-grazed creeks, sediment samples were collected in June 2018 from creek pairs (A-D). Triplicate cores were collected in June 2018 from seven zones along each creek (n = 168 cores), using a push corer with a 10-cm-ID polycarbonate core barrel with beveled head and were sectioned in the field. Cores were inspected to determine if unconsolidated surface sediment (USS) was present. The soft and ‘fluffy’ USS (upper horizon) was distinguished from the consolidated, root-bound sediment (hereafter referred to as “sediment”; lower horizon), which was denser and firmer. The USS was comprised of fine sediments, and when mussels were present, could also contain their feces/pseudofeces. The USS samples were collected separately from the rest of the sediment to evaluate differences between recently deposited material (USS) and more consolidated root-bound material (sediment). If USS was present, its depth was measured, the core was partially extruded in a vertical position, and the USS was removed from the top of the core with a knife and transferred to a Whirl-pakTM bag. After USS was collected, the core was extruded further, and the topmost 5 cm of sediment were collected into a Whirl-pakTM bag. If no USS was present, this was noted, and the topmost (0-5 cm) sediment was collected. Samples were stored at 4°C while in transit to the laboratory (< 4 hours) and stored at -20°C until further processing. Frozen samples were freeze-dried, homogenized, and ground with a roller mill prior to analysis.

Description:

Elemental analysis and stable isotopes. A subset of the dried, ground samples described in the sample collection method step (Sesarma gut contents, Sesarma muscle tissue, whole Sesarma crabs, Spartina leaf clippings, diatom filters, USS and sediments) were weighed into tin capsules for total carbon (TC), total nitrogen (TN), and d15N analysis, and another subset of sample was weighed into silver capsules, fumigation acidified according to Harris et al. (2001) and analyzed for total organic carbon (TOC) and d13C. Elemental and stable isotope analysis was conducted at the University of Florida’s Stable Isotope Laboratory, using a Carlo Erba 1500 CN elemental analyzer coupled to a Thermo Electron DeltaV Advantage isotope ratio mass spectrometer (Carlo Erba/ThermoFisher Scientific™, Waltham, MA, USA). Stable isotope ratios for carbon and nitrogen are reported in standard delta notation (d13C and d15N) relative to Vienna Pee Dee Belemnite (VPDB) and atmospheric N2, respectively.

Description:

Total hydrolyzable amino acids. Details about sample collection are included in the sample collection method step. Sediment samples from one grazed and one un-grazed creek (Creek Pair A) and Sesarma crab gut contents (fore- and hind-gut) were analyzed for 19 amino acids, according to Hutchings et al. (2018), and analyzed with a Thermo-Scientific Dionex 3000™ ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography system, coupled to a Thermo-Scientific TSQ Endura H-ESI triple quadrupole mass spectrometer (ThermoFisher Scientific™, Waltham, MA, USA) at the University of Florida. Those samples that contained amino acids in concentrations below detectable levels are reported as null values in the dataset. Reference: Hutchings, J. A., Shields, M. R., Bianchi, T.
