Data analyses are currently being performed. Geographic Coverage Study Extent Description Patterns of net primary productivity, biomass allocation, total leaf area and leaf turnover rate were determined on Laguncularia racemosa and Rhizophora mangle saplings grown on a fertilized soil under greenhouse conditions.The microcosm setup is composed of tidal platforms that can simulate different hydroperiods each. These platforms consist of buckets (23 L, 48 cm deep) situated on top of a 190 L-reservoir. Seawater is distributed to each individual bucket. Tidal amplitude is controlled independently in each bucket by two concentric pipes that drain the water back to the reservoir once the pumps are turned off. For the flooded no drainage occurs, and the buckets remain permanently flooded. Timers control inundation frequency and duration on a semidiurnal pattern. Salinity in the water circulating between the buckets and the reservoirs was 10 plus or minus 2.5 g/kg for the low salinity treatment, and 40 plus or minus 2.5 g/kg for the high salinity treatment.

No experimental plots used;a microcosm setup was used instead in Greenhouse. Method Step Description Partition and total biomass obtained as dry weight plant material per pot. Instrumentation Standard laboratory drying ovens, furnaces, balances Quality Control Descriptive statistics, normal distribution plots, standard validation checks for negative numbers, graphs to detect potential outliers.

Information Manager (August 29, 2002) merged Day, Month, and Year columns into one 'Date' Column. Information Management Notes This is a short-term primary production dataset and subsequent data wil be appended. The new PASTA file is ST_PP_Rivera_002. The FCE program is discontinuing its practice of versioning data as of March 2013.
