Carbon and Nitrogen content of above- and belowground biomass across a coastal wetland salinity gradient in Louisiana, U.S.A. (2013-2014)
July 17, 2025
Percent total carbon (%TC) and percent total nitrogen (%TN) content of above- and belowground biomass were measured from mixed-species plots in four different wetland types in Coastal Louisiana in July 2013 and July–August 2014 (Stagg et al. 2017).

Above- and belowground production in coastal wetlands are important contributors to carbon accumulation and ecosystem sustainability. As sea level rises, we can expect shifts to more salt-tolerant communities, which may alter these ecosystem functions and services. Although the direct influence of salinity on species-level primary production has been documented, we lack an understanding...
