Soil properties, soil radioisotope activity, and end-of-season belowground biomass across Barataria basin wetlands (2016)

Description

The sustainability of coastal wetlands largely hinges on their ability to accrue elevation capital at a rate that equals or exceeds relative sea-level rise. A better understanding of these processes is needed to accurately assess the sustainability of these landscapes, and to predict their response to restoration measures such as sediment delivery through river diversions.
