Instances where data has been previously published are indicated with full references included in the spreadsheet.This data has been generated by Dr. Jeff R. Havig and Dr. Trinity L. Hamilton, Dept. of Plant and Microbial Biology, University of Minnesota. The data compiled in this spreadsheet represents water geochemistry and biofilm molecular data collected under Yellowstone Permit YELL-2022-SCI-7020, used for submitted publication "Between a Rock and a Soft Place: Biomass δ15N Values of Hot Spring Microbial Communities and Their Potential for Preservation in the Rock Record", submitted March, 2024 to JRG Biogeosciences by Havig and Hamilton.
