Description
This dataset provides elevation, hydrogeomorphic zone classification, soil carbon content, bulk density, organic matter content, and sediment accretion measurements collected at feldspar stations established near Louisiana's Coastwide Reference Monitoring Systems (CRMS) sites and on Mike Island in Wax Lake Delta (WLD). Feldspar stations were established to capture recent sediment deposition rates across hydrogeomorphic zones defined as discrete surface elevation ranges relative to NAVD88 (e.g., subtidal < -0.04 m, intertidal -0.04 m to 0.30 m, and supratidal > 0.30 m). Hydrogeomorphic zones classification was based on marsh surface elevations extracted from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Atchafalaya 2 project LiDAR Survey 2012 digital elevation model (https://www.sciencebase.gov/catalog/item/543e6b86e4b0fd76af69cf4c). Between two and three feldspar stations were deployed approximately 25 and 50 meters from the main channel to represent existing hydrogeomorphic zones in brackish and saline emergent marsh vegetation, tidal freshwater emergent marshes, and forested swamps. Cryocore technique was used to determine recent sediment deposition. Soil samples were collected to determine organic and inorganic fractions and organic carbon content. This dataset is from the Delta-X field studies conducted during Fall 2020, Spring 2021, and Fall 2021. The data is provided in comma-separated values (CSV) format.
