See knb-lter-fce.1171 (https://portal.edirepository.org/nis/mapbrowse?scope=knb-lter-fce&identifier=1171) for related porewater-nutrient-concentration data.

In the middle of each subplot physical data were collected every 4-6 months. The null hypothesis is that there is no difference between the six mangrove sites included in the study. two (20 x 20 m) plots per site in the mangrove forest are divided in four 10 x 10 m subplots, samples are taken in the middle of each subplot. All plots contain mangrove trees; plots are flooded semi-diurnally. Physical data are measured 2-3 times a year in the middle of each subplot where porewater samples for nutrient analyses are also obtained. 230 is added to the field redox reading to get redox potential (Hargis, Thomas G. and Robert R. Twilley. 1994. Multi-Depth Probes for Measuring Oxidation-Reduction (Redox) Potential in Wetland Soils. Journal of Sedimentary Research A64: 684-685.)

Additional Data connected with this dataset (January 2005 to Present) are dissertation data and are 'locked' until Feburary 2017). This data file combines files PHY_deMutsert_001 (original, v1 & v2). The new PASTA file is PHY_deMutsert_001. The FCE program is discontinuing its practice of versioning data as of March 2013.
