Assessment of marsh/mangrove above and below ground productivity at Chandeleur Island, 2016

Dataset extent

Abstract

Productivity of Spartina alterniflora and Avicennia germinans was assessed by measuring growth of shoots/leaves between sampling periods (approximately 3 months). Measured replicates were tagged during sampling in June 2016, and remeasured in September of 2016. These data were collected at Chandeleur Island, Louisiana.

Purpose

In order to observe effects of oil contamination on biological processes, productivity of Avicennia germinans and Spartina alterniflora communities were assessed using measurements of above- and belowground growth for both species over time.
