Interagency Ecological Program: Water quality, fish, and zooplankton monitoring and modeling to support the 2018 Suisun Marsh Salinity Control Gates Summer Action
In summer 2018 we used a unique water control structure in the San Francisco Estuary (SFE) to direct a managed flow pulse into Suisun Marsh, one of the largest contiguous tidal marshes on the west coast of the United States. The action was designed to increase habitat suitability for the endangered Delta Smelt Hypomesus transpacificus, a small osmerid fish endemic to the upper SFE. The approach was to operate the Suisun Marsh Salinity Control Gates (SMSCG) in conjunction with increased Sacramento River tributary inflow to direct an estimated 160 x 10^6 m3 pulse of low salinity water into Suisun Marsh during August, a critical time period for juvenile Delta Smelt rearing. This dataset includes physical and biological monitoring data collected for the action. Datasets include Delta Smelt catch from the USFWS Enhanced Delta Smelt Monitoring program, zooplankton and Microcystis abundance from the Environmental Monitoring Program, historic Delta Smelt catch from the Summer Townet Survey, Delta Outflow from the Dayflow model, extent of Delta Smelt habitat from the UnTRIM Bay-Delta model, and water quality (Salinity, Temperature, Chlorophyll, and Turibidity) collected at continuous sondes at three locations. These data are associated with the manuscript "Evaluation of a large-scale flow manipulation to the upper San Francisco Estuary: Response of habitat conditions for an endangered native fish," by Dr. Ted Sommer, et al. 2020 PLOS One, in review.
Bull shark catches, water temperatures, salinities, and dissolved oxygen levels in the Shark River Slough, Everglades National Park (FCE) , from May 2005 to May 2009
This dataset provides information on the catches of bull sharks in the Shark River Slough in relation to physical factors including dissolved oxygen, water temperature, salinity, and distance upstream. Analysis of data collected from 2005-2007 indicate that distance from the Gulf of Mexico and dissolved oxygen concentrations have the largest effects on bull shark catch rates. Data are presented for both young of the year sharks, which are concentrated in areas away from the main channel approximately 20km upstream, and older juvenile sharks which are found along the main channel at similar distances upstream. Salinity has a surprisingly weak impact on catches over the time frame initially investigated.
Shark catches (longline), water temperatures, salinities, and dissolved oxygen levels, and stable isotope values in the Shark River Slough, Everglades National Park (FCE LTER), Florida, USA, May 2005 - ongoing
This dataset provides information on the catches of sharks in the Shark River Slough in relation to physical factors including dissolved oxygen, water temperature, salinity, and distance upstream. Analysis of data collected suggest that distance from the Gulf of Mexico and dissolved have the largest effects on shark catch rates, with most juvenile bull sharks being caught in Tarpon Bay. This dataset includes all sharks caught on longline gear, their morphometric data, and CNS stable isotope analysis for selected individuals.
The dataset and model code pertinent to the Everglades Peat Elevation Model (EvPEM): The salinity and inundation mesocosm experiment in freshwater and brackish water sawgrass wetlands in Florida Coastal Everglades (2015-2017).
This is an assembled data and Everglades Peat Elevation Model (EvPEMv1.0) Stella code used to estimate and simulate net ecosystem carbon balance (NECB) and peat elevation change in response to saltwater intrusion and level of inundations. Data from several studies were combined for the estimation of NECB, model parameterization, and calibration (Wilson, 2018; Wilson et al., 2018, 2019; Charles et al., 2019; Servais et al., 2020). The reported data includes aboveground net primary productivity (ANPP), belowground net primary productivity (BNPP), peat elevation change, and decomposition rates that were collected from outdoor laboratory mesocosm experiments conducted at the Florida Bay Interagency Science Center in Key Largo, Florida during 2015-17. The plant-soil monoliths were obtained from a freshwater peat and a brackish water peat marsh located within the Florida Coastal Everglades and transported to the Key Largo facility for the experimental manipulations. In experiments focused on the brackish water marsh, three experiments were carried out reflecting the combined effect of salinity, inundation, and peat exposure to air. The brackish water experiments characterized submerged (SUB), exposed (EXP), and extended depth of exposure of peat surface (EXTEXP) conditions, as we varied water depth relative to the peat surface. Each experiment was subjected to two salinity manipulations: (1) ambient (~10 ppt) porewater salinity (AMB) and (2) elevated (~20 ppt) salinity (SALT). The experimental design included six (2 X 3) treatments: (1) submerged ambient salinity (AMB.SUB), (2) submerged elevated salinity (SALT.SUB.), (3) exposed ambient salinity (AMB.EXP), (4) exposed elevated salinity (SALT.EXP), (5) exposed with extended exposure/dry-down ambient salinity (AMB.EXTEXP), and (6) exposed with extended exposure/dry-down elevated salinity (SALT.EXTEXP). The water level was kept 4 cm above the peat surface for the brackish water SUB treatments. Exposure for the EXP treatment
Continuous groundwater well temperature, salinity and water level measurements at the GCE-LTER Seawater Addition Long-Term Experiment (SALTEx) site from May 2014 to February 2018
The Georgia Coastal Ecosystems LTER Seawater Addition Long-Term Experiment (SALTEx) is a large-scale field experiment designed to simulate saltwater intrusion in a tidal freshwater wetland to predict how chronic (Press) and acute (Pulse) salinization will affect this and other tidal freshwater ecosystems. In order to characterize groundwater salinity, temperature, and plot flooding following experimental manipulation, unvented water pressure, temperature and conductivity were continuously measured in a PVC groundwater well installed at the SALTEx site. Measurements were made at the bottom of the well using a submerged Schlumberger CTD-Diver logger every 15 minutes from 30-May-2014 to 14-Feb-2018. In February 2016 a second CTD-Diver was deployed near the top of the well. Data were downloaded from the loggers using Diver Office communication software, then imported into MATLAB for post-processing, quality control and documentation. Raw, unvented pressure readings were corrected for atmospheric pressure and sensor height from the bottom of the well to generate corrected pressure readings, then water level, salinity and density were calculated from the measured variables using UNESCO algorithms. These data were collected as part of the Georgia Coastal Ecosystems LTER SALTEx project (http://gce-lter.marsci.uga.edu/public/app/send_project_eml.asp?id=73), and will be updated annually.
PIE LTER Year 2022 15-minute interval water quality measurements of water column temperature, salinity, oxygen, pH, and depth at four sites in the Plum Island Estuary.
Four YSI EXO2 water quality sondes were deployed from June 2022 to October 2022 at four sites in the Plum Island Estuary. One was at the mouth of the sound at the Ipswich Bay Yacht Club, one in the Rowley River, and two in the Parker River. The sondes measured water column temperature, salinity, oxygen, pH, and depth in 15-minute intervals.
Short-term high-frequency water dissolved carbon dioxide, temperature, dissolved oxygen, salinity and pH data from 8 Estonian lakes in year 2014
This dataset was used in the analysis described in the manuscript by Khan, H., A. Laas, R. Marcé, B. Obrador. Major effects of alkalinity on the relationship between metabolism and dissolved inorganic carbon dynamics in lakes. In review: Ecosystems. This dataset was used to calculate short term changes of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) concentrations and its variability in Estonian lakes. DIC data were compared with measured dissolved oxygen (DO) data in lakes covering a range of different alkalinity levels. Our results suggest that a large part of the measured variability in DO and DIC reflects non-metabolic processes. In lakes of lower alkalinity, DIC dynamics appear to be mostly driven by aquatic metabolism, whereas in lakes of higher alkalinity calcite precipitation plays a major role on DIC dynamics and needs to be considered along with metabolism.
Measurements of water column specific conductivity, salinity, dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll, temperature, and pH by deployed datasondes every 20 minutes for several periods during the summertime in 2017-2020
West Falmouth Harbor (West Falmouth, MA, USA) has been experiencing a dramatic increase in nitrogen loading from an upgradient municipal wastewater treatment facility since the early 2000's. As part of a long-term study into the effects of this nitrogen enrichment, we have measured water column parameters at 20 minute intervals in two locations within West Falmouth Harbor (West Falmouth, MA, USA), one in the well-flushed outer basin and one in the inner basin closer to the dominant groundwater N source. The goal of this dataset is to compare conditions at the two sites, as well as to derive rates of metabolism. Parameters measured include temperature, specific conductivity, salinity, dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll, and pH. YSI Datasondes were deployed during 4 periods ranging from 6 to 11 days in July and August, suspended vertically from a surface buoy. Over all deployments, instruments passed all QA checks, and average differences between the two instruments over all deployments were less than 0.06 degrees C (temperature), 0.3 (salinity), 0.05 (pH), 1.0 µg/L (chlorophyll), 1.5 (%DO Saturation). Data provided here are not corrected for drift, and chlorophyll data are uncorrected as reported by the instruments. Chlorophyll reported is uncorrected from the YSI calculation based on in-situ fluorescence and calibration with a single-point using deionized water. Lab fluorometric analysis checks show that the YSI chlorophyll is over-reporting by at least 20% at low concentrations, and high concentrations were not able to be validated. Methodology details and analysis of earlier data can be found in Howarth et al 2014, "Metabolism of a nitrogen-enriched coastal marine lagoon during the summertime," doi:10.1007/s10533-013-9901-x
Interagency Ecological Program: Monitoring of water quality, phytoplankton, zooplankton, clams, and Delta Smelt to support the Summer-Fall Suisun Marsh Salinity Control Gates Action 2018-2024
The Suisun Marsh Salinity Control Gates (SMSCG) have the potential to increase low-salinity-zone habitat for endangered Delta Smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus, California Endangered Species Act listed as Endangered, Federal Endangered Species Act listed as Threatened), and to allow them to more frequently occupy Suisun Marsh, especially Montezuma Slough, one of their most important rearing habitats. Operation of the SMSCG in summer and fall to improve Delta Smelt habitat are called for in the Biological Opinion and Incidental Take permit for the Central Valley Project and State Water Project. To support the adaptive management of the action, the California Department of Water Resources and collaborating agencies monitored water quality, phytoplankton, zooplankton, clams, and fishes during the SMSCG management actions in 2018. Monitoring has continued during the summer and fall months of all subsequent years, including both those with and without actions. This data package includes data collected by the Interagency Ecological Program’s (IEP) long-term monitoring programs supplemented with targeted sample collection where existing surveys lacked spatial or temporal coverage. Monitoring during no-action years will be used as a baseline for comparison during action years. This data package will be updated annually.
Large shark catches (Drumline), water temperatures, salinities, dissolved oxygen levels, and stable isotope values in the Shark River Slough, Everglades National Park (FCE LTER) from May 2009 to May 2011
This dataset provides information on the catches of large sharks in the Shark River Slough in relation to physical factors including dissolved oxygen, water temperature, salinity, and distance upstream. Analysis of data collected suggest that distance from the Gulf of Mexico and salinity have the largest effects on shark catch rates, with most large sharks being caught at the mouth of the estuary in high salinity waters. This dataset includes all sharks caught on drumline gear, including large coastal species such as bull sharks and lemon sharks, as well as smaller coastal species such as Atlantic sharpnose sharks and blacknose sharks.
Soil salinity and water content at GCE-LTER vegetation monitoring plots in October 2010
Soil samples were collected in conjunction with Fall 2010 plant monitoring at half of the permanent vegetation monitoring plots in the creekbank and midmarsh zones at 10 GCE study sites. Pore-water salinity was determined by analysis of supernatant salinity in dried soil samples hydrated with a measured volume of deionized water.
