- Abstract:
-
This data set consists of elevation change, surface, and below ground root production, litter production, and algal production data.
- Purpose:
-
To determine the impact of biogenic accretion through surface root production in coastal wetlands and implications for elevation change relative to sea-level rise.

- 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.

- Attribute_Accuracy:
-
- Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
-
Attribute accuracy was determined according to calibrations of analytical tools used. The calibrations were performed according to maufactueres specifications. Please refer to users manual or contact the proper company for further information.
- Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:
-
- Attribute_Accuracy_Value: varies, according to tool
- Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation: See manuals for each analytical tool used.
- Logical_Consistency_Report:
-
At each site replicate samples and measurments are taken. Calibrations of all equipment are made prior to use according to manufacturer specifications.
- Completeness_Report:
-
At each site replicate samples are taken from each experimental treatment plot. In Florida the following treatments are sampled at each sampling interval: control (no manipulation), shade (remove algal contribution), root cutting (remove root contribution), shade plus cutting, and fertilizer addition (stimulate root and algal contribution to accretion). In Belize, measurments and samples were taken at each of the 27 SET stations place in the 3 nutrient treatments (+phosphorus, +nitrogen, control), three zone (fringe, transition, dwarf stands), and 3 replicate locations.
