Water level recorder is located in the mangrove forest approximately 80 m inland at the Taylor River Slough. Water level recorder is located in between of two 20 by 20 m permanent monitoring plots. Water levels for TS/Ph7a are recorded at 1h intervals. Water level recorder is located in the mangrove forest approximately 60 m inland at the Taylor River Slough. Water level recorder is located in between of two 20 by 20 m permanent monitoring plots. Water levels for TS/Ph8 are recorded at 1h intervals. Water level recorder is located in the mangrove forests 40 m inland at the Joe Bay area. Water level recorder is located in between of two 20 by 20 m permanent monitoring plots. All water level data are measured by Florida International University.

Water levels are recorded at 1h intervals. Water level recorders are located in the mangrove forests approximately 60-80 m inland from the shoreline. Water level data are measured by Florida International University. Water levels are measured above (positive values) and below (negative values) soil surface at all sites. Submission note: Sampling on site TS/Ph8 has been cancelled since January 2007. For TS/Ph7 in 2018, data were gap-filled and calibrated through use of data from the USGS gauge at the mouth of TS7. Sampling on site SRS7 started in February 2023. Instrumentation Ultrasonic Water Level Data Loggers with PC Transfer Software and the HP48GX, INFINITIES USA, INC. Beginning on Nov 2010, we installed ONSET HOBO water level dataloggers. The Infinities data logger was broken and the company discontinued this model. Quality Control Dataset is inspected by PI for QA/QC; standard validation checks for negative numbers, graphs to detect potential outliers Distribution Online distribution: https://pasta.lternet.edu/package/data/eml/knb-lter-fce/1168/14/c410dd3aba0813c672d813ad57906f8a Intellectual Rights This information is released under the Creative Commons license - Attribution - CC BY (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/).
