Data provided by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
There are many biogeochemical processes operating within these unconsolidated sediments (ex. soil oxidation & plant decomposition) as well as regular depositional events on the surface (ex. tides & floods), that can affect the surface elevations of these coastal ecosystems over time; these changes are most accurately measured using SETs (Surface Elevation Tables). A total of 15 Sets are located along the coastal transition transect at Grand Bay. The SETs are located in groups of three, located in five major vegetation communities along this transect: one group in low marsh (i.e., Spartina alterniflora-dominated marsh), two groups in mid marsh (i.e., Juncus roemerianus-dominated marsh), one group in salt panne habitat, and one group in freshwater marsh (i.e., Cladium sp.-dominated marsh). Placement of the SETs in these vegetation communities will allow provide habitat-specific marsh elevation changes, data which are currently lacking for much of the Gulf coastal transition zones. temporary tide station was installed in the summer of 2010 and will be removed in the late summer, 2011. The SETs have all been installed and initial measurements will be made during the late summer, 2011.
