Decomposition rates and carbon:nitrogen ratios for different litter types, 2015
Description
This data table contains mean decomposition rates and mean carbon:nitrogen ratios for different litter types buried in 7 marshes during 2015. Note that C:N data are repeated for low and high marsh areas at each site in the table.
These data support the following in-press publication: Janousek, C.N., Buffington, K.J., Guntenspergen, G.R., Thorne, K.M., Dugger, B.D., and Takekawa, J.Y., 2017. Inundation, vegetation, and sediment effects on litter decomposition in Pacific coast tidal marshes. Ecosystems.
