Hydrology data from selected Louisiana freshwater forested wetlands 2004-2022 Hydrology data from selected Louisiana freshwater forested wetlands 2004-2022
Infinity water level recorders were installed in 2004 to monitor hydrologic conditions in five freshwater forested wetlands in Louisiana: Bayou Chevreuil, Bayou Teche National Wildlife Refuge, Mandalay National Wildlife Refuge, Jean Lafitte National and Historical Park, and Treasure Island. Hourly measurements were collected continuously on a 24- hour basis through April 2022, producing...
Data to support the role of the American Alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) in coastal wetland carbon dynamics Data to support the role of the American Alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) in coastal wetland carbon dynamics
Coastal wetlands store carbon in their soils. Carbon is produced by emergent biomass and in-situ root growth, as well as deposited through sedimentation. Burial of aboveground carbon within soils and disruption of long-term soil carbon storage are both influenced by the fauna present in coastal wetlands. Data were used to test the hypothesis that the American Alligator (Alligator...
Treeband measurements of Taxodium distichum in coastal Louisiana, USA from August 2004 through April 2016 Treeband measurements of Taxodium distichum in coastal Louisiana, USA from August 2004 through April 2016
To study the long-term effects of hydrology and salinity on the health of these systems, we fitted dendrometer bands on selected trees in permanent forest productivity plots established between 2004 and 2006 within six baldcypress stands. Three of these stands were in freshwater sites permanently or seasonally flooded with low salinity (0.1-1.3 ppt), while the other three are affected by...
Vegetation survey of southwest Florida for use in assessment of the Picayune Strand Restoration Project effects Vegetation survey of southwest Florida for use in assessment of the Picayune Strand Restoration Project effects
This release consists of vegetation data collected across an environmental gradient at Ten Thousand Islands National Wildlife Refuge (TTI NWR) near Naples, Florida, USA. The refuge is within the impact area of the Picayune Strand Restoration Project (PSRP), a large-scale hydrologic restoration project in southwest Florida that was authorized by the U.S. Congress in 2007. Vegetation...
Mangrove damage along northern Gulf of Mexico from extreme freeze event on February 2021 Mangrove damage along northern Gulf of Mexico from extreme freeze event on February 2021
Climate change is altering the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events. Quantifying ecosystem responses to extreme events at the landscape scale is critical for understanding and responding to climate-driven change but is constrained by limited data availability. Here, we integrated remote sensing with ground-based observations to quantify landscape-scale vegetation damage from...

Interactive effects of salinity and hydrology on radial growth of bald cypress (Taxodium distichum (L.) Rich.) in coastal Louisiana, USA Interactive effects of salinity and hydrology on radial growth of bald cypress (Taxodium distichum (L.) Rich.) in coastal Louisiana, USA
Tidal freshwater forests are usually located at or above the level of mean high water. Some Louisiana coastal forests are below mean high water, especially bald cypress (Taxodium distichum (L.) Rich.) forests because flooding has increased due to the combined effects of global sea level rise and local subsidence. In addition, constructed channels from the coast inland act as conduits for...

Soil elevation change in mangrove forests and marshes of the greater Everglades: A regional synthesis of surface elevation table-marker horizon (SET-MH) data Soil elevation change in mangrove forests and marshes of the greater Everglades: A regional synthesis of surface elevation table-marker horizon (SET-MH) data
Coastal wetlands adapt to rising seas via feedbacks that build soil elevation, which lead to wetland stability. However, accelerated rates of sea-level rise can exceed soil elevation gain, leading to wetland instability and loss. Thus, there is a pressing need to better understand regional and landscape variability in rates of wetland soil elevation change. Here, we conducted a regional...

Mangrove habitat persistence and carbon vulnerability associated with increased nutrient loading and sea-level rise at Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge (Sanibel Island, Florida, USA) Mangrove habitat persistence and carbon vulnerability associated with increased nutrient loading and sea-level rise at Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge (Sanibel Island, Florida, USA)
J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge (DDNWR) is located on Sanibel Island along the southwestern coast of Florida, USA. Sanibel Island is heavily developed, but DDNWR provides protection for a large mangrove area that supports biodiversity and recreational opportunity. However, nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) eutrophication attributed to agriculture discharge along the...

Temperature thresholds for leaf damage from two extreme freeze events (2018 and 2021) near the northern range limit of black mangroves (Avicennia germinans) in southeastern North America Temperature thresholds for leaf damage from two extreme freeze events (2018 and 2021) near the northern range limit of black mangroves (Avicennia germinans) in southeastern North America
Extreme winter temperatures govern the northern range limit of black mangroves (Avicennia germinans) in southeastern North America. There is a pressing need for studies that advance our understanding of how extreme cold temperature events affect mangroves near their range limits. However, such events are infrequent and challenging to study at regional scales. Here, we compared the damage...

Presence of hummock and hollow microtopography reflects shifting balances of shallow subsidence and root zone expansion along forested wetland river gradients Presence of hummock and hollow microtopography reflects shifting balances of shallow subsidence and root zone expansion along forested wetland river gradients
Tidal freshwater forested wetlands (TFFWs) are in an active phase of transition to tidal marsh with sea level rise and salinity incursion along the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts of the United States (U.S.). A prominent feature of TFFWs is hummock/hollow microtopography where hollows represent the flat, base-elevation of the floodplain where inundation occurs relatively frequently, while...
