Dataset AbstractPeriphyton productivity was measured annually at FCE LTER sites in Florida Bay and Shark Slough using light and dark BOD bottle incubations. Data are presented in terms of mass oxygen and/or carbon produced/consumed per gram of periphyton and per m2 of marsh. This is part of continuous data collection to test the hypothesis that phosphorus and nitrogen limit productivity at the upstream and downstream ends, respectively, of the FCE transects. Conclusions await longer-term data collection.

MethodsSampling Description
A known volume of periphyton was collected from substrates (stems of emergent macrophytes, metaphyton, periphytometer slides, and/or benthos) and placed in light and dark BOD bottles. O2 was measured before and after 4 hours of incubation at ambient light. Production in BOD bottles is measured annually.
Method Step
Description
A known volume of periphyton was collected from substrates (stems of emergent macrophytes, metaphyton, periphytometer slides, and/or benthos) and placed in light and dark BOD bottles. O2 was measured before and after 4 hours of incubation at ambient light. Light at the incubation depth was measured with a LiCor for the duration of incubations. Control bottles contained filtered in situ water. All bottles were brought back to the lab on ice and processed to calculate the mass of incubated mat.
