Pacific Arctic Stable Isotope Synthesis [Dunton]
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/255.035

Summary
This dataset is a synthesis of carbon and nitrogen stable isotope data from
several studies collected into a single GIS feature class. The data cover the
Pacific-influenced coastal shelf ecosystem of the Arctic Ocean. Data points
include isotopic ratios of del C-13 and del N-15. Additional metadata such as
the names of the original data collectors are included as attributes of the
feature class when available. Carbon isotope ratios are a good indicator of
carbon sources of the food web because of their small enrichment steps between
consecutive consumers (0-1 0/00) and nitrogen isotope ratios are good
indicators of trophic level (TL) because of the larger enrichment step of 3-4
0/00 between TL. This dataset is part of the Pacific Marine Arctic Regional
Synthesis (PacMARS) Project.
