Dataset AbstractMonthly litterfall data is being collected in two mangrove-dominated regions (Shark River and Taylor Slough) in South Florida. Three sites (SRS4, SRS5, SRS6) in the Shark River region and one site (TS/Ph8) in the Taylor Slough region were used to characterize patterns of litterfall production. At each mangrove site 10 litter baskets (0.5 x 0.5 m) were placed in two 20 x 20 m plots (five baskets per plot). Data has been collected since January 2001. Statistical analysis is being performed.

MethodsSampling Description
Monthly litterfall data is being collected in two mangrove dominated regions (Shark River and Taylor Slough) in South Florida. Ten litter baskets ( 0.5 x 0.5 m) were placed in two 20 x 20 m plot (five baskets per plot) in each mangrove site. Experimental design is a split-plot repeated measures ANOVA.
Method Step
Description
Litter is collected, dried at 60 degrees celcius, and separated in different categories (e.g., leaves, propagules, wood) per species and weighted. Total carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus is determined for each category.
Instrumentation
Standard laboratory drying ovens furnaces balances.Quality Control
Dataset is inspected by PI for QA/QC; descriptive statistics, normal distribution plots, standard validation checks for negative numbers, graphs to detect potential outliers
