Abstract

This dataset contains profile measurements of porewater constituents taken on 3-4 days across the growing seasons in 2022, 2023, and 2024 in a tidal brackish marsh within the Plum Island Ecosystems Long Term Ecological Research site (PIE LTER), located in the Plum Island Sound, Massachusetts (MA). Measurements were taken to monitor changes in porewater chemistry induced by seasonal saltwater intrusion at the site. Samples were taken in two locations: one was close to the creek bank and the other in the marsh interior. Water was sampled from 2-5 depths between the surface to 50cm using a sipper consisting of a hollow stainless steel rod with an opening at the end similar to that described in (Berg & McGlathery, 2001). The rod was pushed into the sediment to the desired depth, typically every 10cm, and water samples were taken by syringe. Water was not obtained at all depths. Samples were preserved and analyzed in the lab. Metadata files Typha_porewater_sipper_dd.csv and Typha_porewater_sipper_flmd.csv contain detailed information on data variables, sampling and QA/QC methods, and site location.

Redox potential in Typha-dominated tidal brackish marsh, PIE LTER, Plum Island Sound, MA, 2023

Dataset Forbrich, Inke ; Martiros, Mikaela ; Orton, Hannah

This dataset includes soil redox potential measurements collected at multiple depths within a tidal brackish wetland in the upper estuary of the Plum Island Ecosystems Long-Term Ecological Research site (PIE LTER), Plum Island Sound, Newbury, Massachusetts (MA). Measurements were taken to evaluate temporal variation in redox potential in relation to hydrological events at three replicate locations. Data were recorded every 5 minutes using a Campbell Scientific Volt116 connected to a CR6 datalogger with SWAP instrument redox probes (ORP-30-4-B) and reference electrodes. Measurements were made at the AmeriFlux site US-PLo at four soil depths (5, 10, 15, and 30 cm). Themore »« less

Upland tidal brackish marsh specific conductivity and salinity measurements, PIE LTER, Plum Island Sound, MA, 2023

Dataset Forbrich, Inke ; Martiros, Mikaela ; Orton, Hannah

This dataset includes raw and corrected specific conductivity, temperature, and calculated salinity measurements collected at 10 cm depth in a Typha angustifolia-dominated tidal brackish wetland at the upper estuary of Plum Island Sound in Newbury, Massachusetts (MA) within the Plum Island Ecosystems Long Term Ecological Research (PIE LTER) site. Measurements were taken to evaluate temporal variation in porewater salinity (a proxy for porewater sulfate concentration) in high frequency to assess soil and plant responses to changes in salinity. Measurements were collected using an Onset HOBO U24-002 Saltwater Conductivity/Salinity data logger deployed in a well. Specific conductivity was corrected using non-linearmore »« less

This dataset contains specific conductivity and calculated salinity data of Parker River water at a tidal brackish wetland dominated by Typha angustifolia at the upper estuary of the Plum Island Sound in Newbury, Massachusetts (MA) within the Plum Island Ecosystems Long Term Ecological Research site (PIE LTER). Measurements were taken to evaluate temporal changes in surface water salinity in high frequency to characterize boundary conditions of soil and plant responses to changes in salinity.
