- Access_Constraints:
-
Access to data sets is restricted to the Principal Investigator and collaborators during QA/QC review. Written notification of the Principal Investigator as to the intended use is required prior to accessing the data set during the restricted access period. After publication , the data will be made availible to the public. It is strongly recommended that these data are directly acquired from the distributor described above or from another USGS Biological Resources Division server and not indirectly through other sources which may have changed the data in some way. The distributor makes no claims as to the data's suitability for other purposes.
- Use_Constraints:
-
Users other than collaborator should exercise caution in using these data sets. Proper use of these data requires specialized knowledge of mangrove ecology and soil chemistry as well as in-depth understanding of the experimental and statistical constraints under which the data set was collected. Potential users are advised to consult with the Principal Investigoator to gain an understanding of the inherent limitations of this data set and its scope of reference. In addition, it is suggested that users consult other data sets on mangrove ecosystems and not rely solely on this one.

Sites were visited and plots were established. Soil porewater and extraction samples, bulk density cores were taken. Measurments of Eh, porewater sulfide and salinity were made. Sods were taken and placed in each of 48 mesocosms, over a 4 cm layer of pea-gravel for drainange. Decomposition bags were installed and sampled after assigned duration in field.
