Litter Decomposition Rates, 2015
Description
This data set contains decomposition rates for litter of Salicornia pacifica, Distichlis spicata, and Deschampsia cespitosa buried at 7 tidal marsh sites in 2015. Sediment organic matter values were collected at a subset of sites.
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.
