Abstract Productivity of Spartina alterniflora and Avicennia germinans was assessed by measuring growth of shoots/leaves between sampling periods (approximately 3 months)....

Abstract To characterize plots as marsh only, mangrove only, or mixed, we employed a simple, effective assessment of percent cover. In each 3m*3m plot, we quantified plant...

Abstract To determine the relative abundances, species number, and composition of macrofauna, all plots were sampled at high tide during the growing season (June and October) in...

Abstract Physical data were collected on a monthly basis on the day of sediment collection. This data was used in conjunction with sediment experiments to better understand the...

Abstract The Deepwater Horizon oil spill has contributed to significant loss of marsh vegetation. Decreased marsh vegetation habitats can lead to a reduction in organic carbon...

Abstract Denitrification and nitrogen cycling processes were measured from marsh sediments to determine the impact of oiling on salt marsh ecosystems. Five replicate sediment...

Abstract The Deepwater Horizon oil spill impacted tidal flats in the Gulf of Mexico. This collection of datasets is generated from oiled tidal flat microcosms to examine the oil...

Abstract This data collection was generated from a study in which oiled seagrass bed microcosms were created to examine the oil spill responses on seagrass beds and benthic...

Abstract This dataset was generated from a study in which sediments were collected from Chandeleur Islands salt marshes to examine the effect of oil exposure on denitrifier...

Abstract This dataset was generated from a study conducted in the Chandeleur Islands, a chain of barrier islands off the coast of Louisiana which were subjected to a gradient of...

Abstract As oil was deposited differentially within Chandeleur Island salt marshes, it provided the opportunity to investigate the long-term effect on the microbiology of...

Abstract This data was generated from a a mesocosm project to examine the effect of oil exposure on denitrifier functional abundance within sediments associated with...

Abstract This dataset was generated from a field survey conducted in the Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana that explored the relationship between biodiversity (taxonomic and...

Abstract This collection of datasets was generated from mesocosm experiments conducted from September to December 2017 to examine the effects of oil exposure on trophic...

Abstract This collection of datasets was generated from mesocosm experiments conducted from August to November 2016 to examine the effects of oil exposure on coastal...

Abstract These datasets were generated from mesocosm experiments conducted from June to September 2017 to examine the effects of predator and habitat diversity on trophic...

Abstract These datasets were generated from mesocosm experiments conducted from August to October 2016 to examine the effects of predator density and diversity on trophic...

Abstract The 2010 Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill resulted in more than 3 million barrels of crude oil being delivered into the Gulf of Mexico with approximately 160,000...

Abstract Oyster reefs in the Gulf of Mexico were likely subjected to multiple stressors as a result of the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill – those directly from the spill and those...

Abstract Abundance of live organisms (per 0.25 m2 quadrat) found in oyster reefs sampled in late spring (June), summer (June-September), and fall (September-November) 2017. Four...
