The dataset includes sediment grain-size composition, mean grain size, total organic carbon (TOC) and total nitrogen (TN) contents, C/N ratios, stable carbon and nitrogen isotope values (δ¹³C and δ¹⁵N), easily oxidizable organic carbon (EOC), water extractable organic carbon (WEOC), microbial biomass carbon (MBC), recalcitrant organic carbon (ROC), dry bulk density and organic carbon stocks.</p> 2026-09-13T09:46:34Z Dataset Dataset 10.6084/m9.figshare.33684817.v1 https://figshare.com/articles/dataset/Coral_reef_sediment_organic_carbon_data_from_the_Xisha_Islands_South_China_Sea/33684817 CC BY 4.0
