Dataset AbstractAll mangrove trees having a diameter at breast high (DBH) greater than 2.5 cm were tagged in two 20 x 20 m plot in stations SRS4-6 and TS/Ph-8. Measurements in PLot Num1 began in 1995; measurements in Plot Num 2 began in 2001. Plot Num1 in TS/Ph-8 was established in 2001. DBH has been measured in the period 1995-2004. Mangrove species include Rhizophora mangle, Laguncularia racemosa, Avicennia germinans, Conacarpus erectus.

MethodsSampling Description
The annual net increase in biomass will be estimated at different time intervals for each individual tree/species. The sum of these differences will represent the wood production for each site. The general objectives of this study are to evaluate differences in above ground productivity along soil P concentrations, soil salinity gradients, and hydroperiod. Information will be analyzed using a repeated-measures ANOVA. Two plots of 20 x 20m in each sampling station (only one in TS/Ph-8)
Method Step
Description
An aluminum nail was placed at breast height (1.5 m) along with an numbered aluminum tag in each tree. DBH is measured above and below the nail at each sampling time; the mean value from these measurements is used for growth calculations. Tree height is measured using a calibrated range finder, accuracy of height measurements is plus or minus 3.5 m due to canopy density)
Instrumentation
Standard DBH taperange finderQuality Control
Descriptive statistics, normal distribution plots, standard validation checks for negative numbers, graphs to detect potential outliers
