Abstract

Measurements were collected during the 92 day lab-based experiment carried out on replicate macrofaunal mesocosms of Astarte crenata, Ctenodiscus crispatus, Cistenides hyperborea from the Western Barents Sea and Aequiyoldia eightsi and Laternula elliptica from Rothera Point, Antarctic Peninsula. Macrofauna were collected on cruise JR18006 in the Western Barents Sea and by hand during scuba dives in the cove adjacent to Rothera research station. Experimental measurements include carbonate chemistry indices measured in water samples; carbon dioxide concentration levels; benthic invertebrate response rate, burial rate, sediment particle reworking, bioirrigation, and associated nutrient concentrations; benthic invertebrate body size and individual biomass; sediment organic material content, and sediment particle size.
