Note
- Label: Note
- Definition: DON contamination occurred. The contamination accounted for as much as 900% (for NH4) and 4000% (for NO3) of targeted DIN. Only values without "DON contamination" should be used as d15N for DIN. All DIN concentrations are valid.
- Type: Nominal
- Missing values: None specified
