Coweeta Synoptic Data from 49 sampling sites in the Upper Little Tennessee River Basin from 2009 to 2010 (active channel width, bankfull width, and channel depth data)
This data was generated as part of synoptic sampling conducted at the Coweeta LTER between June 2009 and May 2010. 49 wadeable streams with low levels of development were sampled throughout the Upper Little Tennessee River Basin in the Southern Appalachians. Active channel width, bankfull width, and channel depth were measured every 5 meters for 150 meters at synoptic stream sites. Effects of riparian vegetative conditions on a suite of channel morphological variables were investigated: active channel width, variability of width within a reach, large wood frequency, mesoscale habitat distributions, median particle size, and percent fines. At each site, a uniform 150 meter section of stream was surveyed. Within each reach active channel width, bankfull channel width, and channel depth were measured every 5 meters. Active channel width was defined as the vegetationless channel bed from left vegetation break to right vegetation break.

Coweeta Synoptic Data from 49 sampling sites in the Upper Little Tennessee River Basin from 2009 to 2010 (diameter of LWD data)
This data was generated as part of synoptic sampling conducted at the Coweeta LTER between June 2009 and May 2010. 49 wadeable streams with low levels of development were sampled throughout the Upper Little Tennessee River Basin in the Southern Appalachians. Effects of riparian vegetative conditions on a suite of channel morphological variables were investigated: active channel width, variability of width within a reach, large wood frequency, mesoscale habitat distributions, median particle size, and percent fines. Diameter of large woody debris (LWD) in each stream reach were tallied in this specific dataset. At each site, a uniform 150 meter section of stream was surveyed. All wood in a reach exceeding 10cm diameter and 1.0m length were tallied. Observers kept a tally of the function, if any, of the large woody debris within the channel (e.g. pool formation, jam formation, bank protection, etc.).

Nutrient data from the Peat Collapse-Saltwater Intrusion Field Experiment from brackish and freshwater sites within Everglades National Park, Florida (FCE LTER), collected from October 2014 to September 2016
With sea level rise increasing, saltwater intrusion into low-lying coastal wetlands is likely to occur. We simulated saltwater intrusion into an Everglades marsh through monthly additions of elevated salinity water. Monthly porewater nutrients were taken at 15 cm depth from a brackish and a freshwater marsh. Porewater physicochemistry was measured 24 hours after dosing. Collection occurred from Oct 2014 - Sep 2016. The collected water was then analyzed for temperature, conductivity, salinity, pH, alkalinity, chloride, DOC, NH4, SO4, TDN, SRP, TDP, and sulfide. These data are published in Wilson, B.J., Servais, S., Mazzei, V., Davis, S.E., Kelly, S., Gaiser, E., Kominoski, J.S., Richards, J., Rudnick, D., Sklar, F., Stachelek, J., and Troxler, T.G. Salinity pulses interact with seasonal dry-down to increase ecosystem carbon loss in marshes of the Florida Everglades. 2018. Ecological Applications 28:2092-2018.
Fall 2000 grasshopper monitoring -- mid-marsh grasshopper abundance and species diversity at GCE LTER sampling sites 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6
Grasshopper abundance and species diversity were investigated at five sampling sites within the Georgia Coastal Ecosystems (GCE) LTER study area in August 2000. Visual surveys were conducted along 10 2m by 10m transects randomly allocated within the mid-marsh zone at each site. All grasshoppers observed within each transect were counted and identified to species, if possible. This survey was conducted as part of the GCE invertebrate monitoring program, and will be performed annually to assess long-term changes in relative species abundances across the GCE study area.
Fall 2003 fungal monitoring -- marshgrass ergosterol content and ascospore release rates at 10 GCE sampling sites
Leaves of dominant marsh plants were collected from permanent plots in 10 GCE LTER sampling sites in order to assess the relative biomass and activity of fungal decomposers. The quantity of ergosterol, a specific fungal cell-membrane component, and the rate of ascomycete spore expulsion were measured in pooled lots of leaves from the dominant marsh vegetation at each site. Samples were collected from both creek bank and mid-marsh habitats. The dry weight and organic content of the plant material was also measured. This study is part of the GCE microbial decomposer monitoring program, and will be repeated annually to assess long-term patterns of fungal activity in relation to various environmental factors.

Grasshopper abundance and species diversity were investigated at eight sampling sites within the Georgia Coastal Ecosystems (GCE) LTER study area in August 2002. Visual surveys were conducted along 10 2m by 10m transects randomly allocated within the mid-marsh zone at each site. All grasshoppers observed within each transect were counted and identified to species, if possible. This survey was conducted as part of the GCE invertebrate monitoring program, and will be performed annually to assess long-term changes in relative species abundances across the GCE study area.
Fall 2000 plant monitoring survey -- shoot height and flowering status of plants in permanent plots at GCE sampling sites 1-10
A quadrat survey was conducted in October 2000 to measure the species and size distribution of plants in the permanent plots at 10 GCE LTER sampling sites. The permanent plots were subdivided into two nominal zones (creek and high marsh), and 8 quadrats were randomly placed within each zone. The species, shoot height, and flowering status was recorded individually for each plant present in each quadrat. This survey will be repeated annually to assess changes in plant distribution and biomass in relation to environmental changes documented by other GCE LTER monitoring efforts.
Fall 2002 plant monitoring survey -- shoot height and flowering status of plants in permanent plots at GCE sampling sites 1-10
A quadrat survey was conducted in October 2002 to measure the species and size distribution of plants at 10 GCE LTER sampling sites. The quadrats were established as permanent plots at GCE sampling sites in October 2000 by placing wooden stakes at random locations across two nominal zones at each site, designated based on marsh structure (creekbank and high marsh). Several new plots were also added in October 2002 to replace those lost due to catastrophic wrack disturbance or creek bank erosion. The plots were visually surveyed and the species, shoot height, and flowering status was recorded individually for each shoot over 10 cm in height present in each plot. Observations from plots exhibiting signs of disturbance were noted in the data set. This survey will be repeated annually to assess changes in plant distribution and biomass in relation to environmental changes documented by other GCE LTER monitoring efforts.
Plant allometry at GCE sampling sites 1-10 in October, 2002
The relationship between height and mass (allometry) was measured for plants collected from Georgia Coastal Ecosystems sampling sites 1-10 in October 2002. Shoots or leaves (Juncus) were collected adjacent to permanent plots in each marsh zone by clipping at the soil surface. Dead leaves were removed from shoots. Height, flowering status (Spartina species only), number of leaves (Spartina species and Zizaniopsis), and dry mass were measured for each plant. The allometric relationships determined in this study will allow annual GCE plant monitoring data to be converted from height to mass. This study may be repeated in the future to examine temporal trends in relation to environmental changes.

All grasshoppers observed within each transect were counted and identified to species, if possible. This survey was conducted as part of the GCE invertebrate monitoring program, and will be performed annually to assess long-term changes in relative species abundances across the GCE study area.
Marsh soil characteristics at nine GCE-LTER sampling sites in May 2001
Soil cores were collected from two tidal marsh locations at nine GCE-LTER sampling sites in May 2001. Bulk density and organic Carbon, total Nitrogen, total Phosphorous, Cesium-137 and Lead-210 content were measured in 15 2cm sections from each 30cm core. The sampling locations were chosen to represent three estuaries of the Georgia coast (USA) that vary in delivery of freshwater and sediment. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of freshwater input on soil properties, accretion and accumulation.
Soil respiration and temperature measurements at 5 GCE-LTER sampling sites from June 2003 to March 2005
Soil temperature and respiration were measured in tidal marshes at five GCE-LTER sampling sites. The sites represent estuaries of the Georgia coast (USA) that vary in delivery of freshwater and sediment. Replicate measurements were taken from several locations at each site (levee, marsh plain, and marsh dieback) on seven dates between June 2003 and March 2005 to evaluate the effects of freshwater input on soil respiration over time.
Root Decomposition and root in-growth rates for GCE marsh sites 6-9 from June 2003 to June 2004
Rates of decomposition and root in-growth were measured in four tidal marshes of the Georgia coast (USA) that vary in freshwater input. Replicate nylon mesh bags containing roots of dominant plant species were buried 20cm deep in marsh sediments at stream-side levee and marsh plain locations within GCE sampling sites 6, 7, 8 and 9 in June 2003. Dry weight, carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus content, and root in-growth were measured initially and every three months to evaluate the effects of freshwater input on root decomposition and growth rates. This study was part of the GCE-LTER soil monitoring program.
Soil accretion at 10 GCE marsh sampling sites from December 2001 to May 2011
The accretion of soil was measured in tidal marshes at 10 GCE-LTER sampling sites from December 2001 to May 2005. Feldspar marker layers were deposited in 0.25m by 0.25m quadrats in the marsh plain at each site in December 2001, then replicate soil cores were removed at approximately 6 month intervals to measure accretion above the marker layer. This study is part of the GCE sediment monitoring program, and was conducted to evaluate the effects of freshwater input on soil accretion.
