Water Quality Data (Porewater) from the Taylor Slough, Everglades National Park (FCE), South Florida from September 1999 to December 2006
Porewater samples are collected at SRS1b,SRS2,SRS3, TS/Ph-1-5, 6b within the 1 m^ aboveground sawgrass nondestructive biomass plots. Airstones connected to Tygon tubing are inserted 10-15 cm below the soil surface. Biannually during the wet season, Monoject 140cc syringes are used to collect at least 80 mL of porewater sample and after collection they are immediately placed in an ice filled cooler. The lab processing of these samples include salinity measurements using a refractometer, and filtering the sample through a Whatman GF/F filter. Samples are analyzed for inorganic nutrients such as NO2-,NO3-,NH4+,SRP, and DOC. Dissolved nutrients are measured using standard rapid flow analyzer (RFA) techniques and DOC is quantified on a Shimadzu TOC Analyzer.
Sawgrass above ground biomass from the Taylor Slough, just outside Everglades National Park (FCE), South Florida from October 1997 to December 2006
Sawgrass biomass is measured for TS/Ph-1, 2, 3, & 6 since 1999; TS/Ph-4 & 5 since 1997 to 2006; SRS-1b, 2, & 3 since 2000; SRS1c for 2005 to 2006, and SRS1d since 2006. Three 1 m2 plots are placed on each site. The sites are measured every two months. The number of sawgrass plants is counted for each 1 m2 plot and one third or a minimum of fifteen plants is measured. For each measured plant, measurements of the total number of live leaves, length of the live leaves, and culm diameter at the base are taken. From these measurements we calculate the average leaf length, and the sum of the length of the leaves. We created a model for biomass using a stepwise regression to see which of the variables measured and calculated are more correlated to explain plant biomass. Obtaining the mean biomass for the plants within the plot and multiplying it by the number of plants counted in the plot calculates biomass for each plot. The total biomass for each plot is summed with the other two plots in the same site, and they are averaged to obtain one biomass number per site. To validate our model, plant clippings are obtained in which four plants are clipped (small, medium, large, inflorescence) from each site. The same measurements are applied to the clipped plants as those applied to the measured plants in the plots. The plant clippings are oven dried at 70 degrees C and weighed.
Precipitation from the Taylor Slough, just outside Everglades National Park (FCE), South Florida from August 2000 to December 2006
Rain level is recorded at least every thirty minutes at TS/Ph4 and TS/Ph5 (data since 2000). Rain level data are collected using ISCO rain level gages attached to ISCO autosamplers, which also act as dataloggers. We condense these data into daily cumulative rainfall, although hourly rain level data are also available.
Water Levels from the Taylor Slough, just outside the Everglades National Park (FCE), South Florida from October 1997 to December 2006
Water level is recorded at least hourly at TS/Ph4 and TS/Ph5. Water level is measured with acoustic water level gages that digitally record relative water height relative to the local soil surface.
Groundwater and surface water phosphorus concentrations, Everglades National Park (FCE), South Florida for June, July, August and November 2003
Seawater intrusion into a coastal aquifer mixes with the discharging fresh water to form a zone of mixed composition. This mixing zone is considered to be geochemical important in a carbonate aquifer as an area of enhanced carbonate mineral dissolution and,or precipitation. Ion exchange reactions are also common within the mixing zone as the dominant cation in seawater, sodium, replaces other ions adsorbed to the aquifer matrix. Phosphorus has a strong affinity for adsorption to calcium carbonate minerals. Both the dissolution of calcium carbonate minerals as well as ion exchange reactions have the potential to release phosphorus from the aquifer matrix to the groundwater. Discharge of this phosphorus-laden groundwater, as induced by the fresh/saline water interface, may then be an additional source of phosphorus to the overlying coastal environments. Both surface water and groundwater were collected across the seawater intrusion zone of the coastal Everglades in south Florida during the summer of 2003. Hydrogen sulfide was released from the groundwater wells during sampling, indicating the groundwater was most likely anoxic. In order to reduce the potential exposure of the groundwater to oxygen during sampling, groundwater samples were collected in the following manner. Groundwater wells were first purged of at least three well volumes prior to sampling. Water samples were then collected using a submersible pump with a 16-gauge needle fitted at the end of the discharge hose. The needle was pushed through a rubber stopper covering an acid-washed vacutainer that was first flushed with nitrogen gas to remove and oxygen, then evacuated with a vacuum pump to establish a negative pressure within the vacutainer. Water samples were stored on ice and transported to the laboratory. Samples were processed for total phosphorus using colorimetery following dry-oxidation/acid hydroloysis methods within 1 to 5 days following sample collection. Salinity of the groundwater and surf
Water Temperature measured at Shark River, Everglades National Park (FCE) from October 2007 to August 2008
American alligators (Alligator mississippiensis) are top predators in the Florida Coastal Everglades (FCE), but their movement patterns and role in the ecosystem are largely unknown. Proposed restoration and management efforts in the Everglades are likely to influence both alligator movements and the spatiotemporal patterns of their effects on ecosystem and community dynamics, making studies of the factors influencing alligator movements important at this time. In October 2007, we initiated a study of alligators in the Shark River Slough of Everglades National Park using two tracking techniques that have yet to be used on crocodilians: GPS tracking and passive acoustic telemetry. GPS units attached to two alligators have provided 120 positions over a two month period while acoustic transmitters attached to 12 alligators have been detected 34,000 times on an array of 8 monitoring stations within the river system. GPS positions are more accurate than acoustic monitoring and can provide data over the entire range an alligator might move, but acoustic transmitters provide more temporally detailed information on movements within a monitoring array and over a longer duration (potentially years rather than months). Our preliminary results show that alligators may remain in localized areas for weeks at a time, but make long-distance moves from the mouth of the river system to the marsh-mangrove ecotone and likely into the marsh. In general, most alligators moved upstream as freshwater inputs decreased, but some individuals remained near the river mouth even when salinities were high. Ultimately, by characterizing alligator movements in relation to spatiotemporal variation in environmental factors we will be able to predict how alligator distributions and populations will respond to planned increases in freshwater flow. Furthermore, movement data combined with dietary and stable isotopic studies may shed light on the possible role of alligators in the redistribution of nutri
Water Temperature, Salinity and other physical measurements taken at Shark River, Everglades National Park (FCE LTER) from February 2010 to March 2014
In early 2010 we established three new permanent water quality monitoring stations in the Shark River Estuary. These stations expanded FCE's spatial coverage in terms of salinity and also established the first continuous dissolved oxygen monitoring in the estuary.
Water Temperature measured at Shark River, Everglades National Park (FCE) from July 2007 to June 2011
Between 2007 and 2011 we placed HOBO continuous water temperature loggers at 17 locations in the Shark River Estuary for various lengths of times. These stations expanded FCE's spatial coverage in terms of temperature monitoring in the estuary.
Institutional Dimensions of Restoring Everglades Water Quality - Social Capital Analysis (FCE), Florida Everglades Agricultural Area from September 2014 to July 2015
These data were compiled through the Institutional Dimensions of Restoring Everglades Water Quality research project. One of the manuscripts generated by this project focused on the social capital dynamics in the Everglades Agricultural Area. These data represent different social capital aspects reflected by the responses of interview subjects. The purpose of analyzing social capital was to explore why and how farmers cooperated given that the state law, the Everglades Forever Act, which required the adoption of best management practices, relied on shared compliance for farmers to improve water quality. The study sought to undrestand how different aspects of social capital (broadly pro-social norms of reciprocity and trust) either encouraged or discouraged farmers to adopt BMPs effectively.
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.

Decomposition rates of four litter types along coastal gradients in Everglades National Park (FCE LTER), Florida, USA: 2020-2021
Leaf litter, of variable quality, was deployed along freshwater-to-marine gradients to investigate the drivers of litter breakdown in the Florida Coastal Everglades. Sea-level rise provides both stressors and subsidies to microbial communities that break down litter, and is also causing shifts in the vegetation producing litter, changing the initial quality of litter being deposited in coastal wetlands. The goal of this project was to understand the complex relationship between marine stressors and subsidies, by performing a reciprocal transplant of litter. Litter from each major vegetation species along the freshwater to marine gradient were deployed at sites in freshwater, the ecotone, mangrove forest, and in Florida Bay. This reciprocal transplant of different qualities of leaf litter into novel environments across a gradient of salinity and phosphorus will give insights into the effects of litter carbon quality, littery chemistry, microbial productivity of decomposers, and environmental chemistry as drivers of the breakdown of leaf litter.
Inventory of soil prokaryotic microbiome (via 16S based on rRNA gene amplicons) in freshwater and brackish water marshes following saltwater intrusion along Shark River Slough boundary, Everglades National Park (FCE LTER), Florida, USA, September 2018
Global sea-level rise is transforming coastal ecosystems, especially freshwater wetlands, in part due to increased episodic or chronic saltwater exposure, leading to shifts in microbial communities and related ecological services. Soil prokaryotes play a fundamental role in regulating important biogeochemical processes in coastal wetland ecosystem. Yet, it is still difficult to predict how soil prokaryotic communities respond to the saltwater exposure because of poorly understood prokaryotic sensitivity within complex wetland soil microbial communities, as well as the high heterogeneity of wetland soils and saltwater exposure. To address this, a four-year experimental simulation of saltwater intrusion in a pristine freshwater site and a previously saltwater-impacted site was conducted. The saltwater addition started in October 2014 on a monthly basis and continued through October 2018. The dataset contains amplicon sequencing date of 16S rRNA gene obtained from saltwater-exposed soils and unmanipulated native soils in both sites (collected in September 2018). The 2018 data are published in Zhao et al. 2023. A detailed list of sequence data and their accession numbers in GenBank is provided, and data collection is complete.

Inventory of soil prokaryotic and fungal microbiome (via 16S rRNA gene amplicons and ITS sequencing) from Shark River Slough and Taylor Slough, Everglades National Park (FCE LTER), Florida, USA, February 2019 - October 2020
Global sea-level rise is transforming coastal ecosystems, especially freshwater wetlands, in part due to increased saltwater exposure, leading to change in soil microbial communities and many important biogeochemical processes. Given the high spatial and temporal heterogeneity in coastal wetlands, especially in tropical or subtropical climates characterized by seasonal temperature, precipitation, and tidal fluctuations, it remains unclear which environmental factors influence the compositions of soil microbial communities in wetlands affected by varying degrees of sea-water intrusion. To address this, a two-year survey was conducted on microbial community structure in submerged surface soils from 14 wetland sites across the Florida Everglades, representing three major ecosystem types, i.e. freshwater marshes, mangrove forests, and seagrass meadows. Bulk surface soil samples of each site were collected from February 2019 to October 2020 to cover dry and wet seasons. In addition to bulk soil samples, soil cores were collected from each site in August 2020 to assess vertical gradients of microbial communities. The dataset contains amplicon sequencing data of 16S rRNA gene (both bulk soil and soil cores) and ITS gene (only the bulk soil). The 2019 to 2020 data are published in Zhao et al. 2023. A detailed list of sequence data and their accession numbers in GenBank is provided, and data collection is complete.

Leaf litter, soil, and periphyton gene expression along freshwater to marine gradients in Everglades National Park (FCE LTER), Florida, USA, January 2021 and April 2021
We collected leaf litter, periphyton, and soil along freshwater to marine gradients at SRS-2, SRS-4, SRS-6, TS/PH-2, TS/Ph-3, TS/Ph-7a, and TS/Ph-10. Samples were collected in January and April of 2021 to understand how microbial communities respond to and influence the breakdown of organic matter along freshwater to marine transects. Data collection for this project is complete. For each site and litter pair we collected a subset of 2-3 g wet mass of litter, a grab sample of soil, and a grab sample of periphyton for each site. All subsamples were preserved at -20°C until extraction, which took place up to a year after initial collection. Samples were sent to Novogene (Novogene Co. Ltd., Beijing, China) for the total RNA extraction followed by metatranscriptome sequencing. We selected n = 12 genes/gene families encoding for focal enzymes to investigate which are important to the breakdown of organic matter: Dioxygenases (associated with aerobic respiration), Sulfatases (associated with the release of sulfates from complex molecules), sulfite reductases (associated with sulfite reduction), methyl coenzyme M reductase and formylmethanofuran (associated with methanogenesis), nitrite reductases (associated with nitrite reduction), cellobiosidase, glucosidase, and xylosidase (associated with cellulose breakdown), phenol oxidase (associated with lignin breakdown), acid phosphatase (associated with phosphate acquisition in acidic environments), and alkaline phosphatase (associated with phosphate acquisition in basic environments). For each gene/family of interest, we searched all annotated transcripts for all entries corresponding to that gene/family and combined all values for a total expression. We selected n = 6 monophyletic microbial functional groups, representing sulfate reducers, sulfate oxidizers, methane oxidizers, methanogens, nitrite oxidizers, and ammonia oxidizers associated with sulfate and methane cycling. We filtered all annotated transcripts for all specie

The Salinity and phosphorus mesocosm experiment in freshwater sawgrass wetlands: Determining the trajectory and capacity of freshwater wetland ecosystems to recover carbon losses from saltwater intrusion (FCE LTER), Florida, USA from 2015 to 2018
In experimental wetland mesocosms located at Florida Bay Interagency Science Center, Key Largo, Florida, researchers continuously added salinity (approximately 6.9 g salt d-1) and phosphorus ( approximately 0.5 mg P d-1) to Cladium jamaicense peat monoliths from February 2015 to February 2017 and quantified changes in carbon partitioning. Several studies, focusing on the functional roles of marsh, soil, periphyton and microbe in the sawgrass-peat ecosystem, summarized detailed methodology and results (Wilson et al. 2019; Servais et al. 2019; Mazzei et al. in press). Briefly, salinity was increased (~10 ppt) and phosphorus was added (0.45 mg P d-1) to simulate four treatment effects (n = 24 plots): i) freshwater and no-added phosphorus, ii) freshwater and added phosphorus, iii) saltwater and no-added phosphorus, and iv) saltwater and added phosphorus. Upon the termination of manipulation study (early February 2017), containers holding water and peat-sawgrass cores were drained, rinsed, and refilled with only freshwater without any added nutrient and salt. Then, we experimentally restored freshwater to previous treatment and control mesocosms from February 2017 to June 2018 to examine the capacity of wetland ecosystems to recover carbon losses from saltwater intrusion. Note that FCE1226_Water_quality.csv summarizes water quality during both the manipulation and restoration study; however, all other files in the Dataset Title section only summarize results from the restoration study. Detailed methodology is provided below.
