Description This dataset contains information collected by the Fowl River Marsh Health and Recovery Study: Stable isotope and anthropogenic influences component. Records include...

Description This dataset contains sightings of American horseshoe crab, Limulus polyphemus, during shoreline surveys conducted in late spring and summer in 2012 and 2013. The...

Description This dataset includes denitrification rates across a typical northern Gulf of Mexico salt marsh landscape that included a natural marsh, a tidal creek, and a...

Description Along the FOCAL Transect on the Alabama shelf, a CTD survey was conducted using Seabird SBE 25 Sealogger CTD on 06/04/2019. It measured depth (m), salinity (PSU),...

Abstract This dataset contains images and productivity data from a yearlong mesocosm experiment. We included three plant composition treatments: Spartina alterniflora only,...

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

Abstract Fishes and macroinvertebrates were collected using a 12.8m semi-balloon otter trawl with 4 cm mesh in Spring and Fall of 2015 in the coastal waters of Alabama and...

Abstract Catch and individual measurements from all organisms captured on bottom longline surveys in Coastal Alabama, Mississippi, and the Chandeleur Islands in 2015. Bottom...

Abstract Fishes and macroinvertebrates were collected using a 12.8m semi-balloon otter trawl with 4 cm mesh in Spring and Fall of 2015 in the coastal waters of Alabama and...

Abstract Oysters 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 Shell heights of up to 20 live oysters per size class (spat, seed, market) found in oyster reefs sampled in the early fall (September/October) and spring (April/May) in...

Abstract Cruise report information and physical data for oyster reef sites sampled in the early fall (September/October) and spring (April/May) from 2015 to 2016. Four...

Abstract Abundance of live organisms (per 0.25 m2 quadrat) found in oyster reefs sampled in the early fall (September/October) and spring (April/May) from 2015 to 2016. Four...

Abstract Biodiversity, whether functional, taxonomic, or genetic, can influence a range of marine ecosystem services such as productivity and resource utilization. Theory...

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...
