This phenomenon is best exemplified in the dynamics of an estuarine oligohaline zone where fresh water draining phosphorus-limited Everglades marshes mixes with water from the more nitrogen-limited coastal ocean. Data in this data package are specifically to monitor soil elevation change relative to current sea level using the SET method. The Feldspar Marker Horizon method was used in conjunction with the SET data. The Feldspar data are in dataset FCE1213.

Sampling Description Soil elevation change is measured using Sediment Elevation Table (SET) Method Step Description Sediment Elevation Change is measured at 27 locations in Florida Bay using sediment elevation table (SET), which is a device designed to measure temporal and spatial changes in soil elevation within ±0.7- 1.8 mm confidence interval. The SET is attached to a benchmark that was driven into the soil to refusal, making the depth of the benchmark the reference datum. Elevation change measured by the SET is influenced by both surface and subsurface processes occurring within the soil profile.
