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 elevation measurements acquired in November - December 2020 using a RTK GPS (Trible R12, using Geoid 18). Between two and four feldspar stations were deployed approximately 25 and 50 meters from a main channel to represent existing hydrogeomorphic zones in brackish and saline emergent marsh vegetation, brackish and saline ponds within emergent marshes, 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. The data cover the Delta-X field studies conducted from Fall 2020 through Fall 2023. The first feldspar markers were deployed in October of 2019. The data are provided in comma-separated values (CSV) format.
