EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN AND METHODS:
Sediment cores were obtained in the field and transported to the laboratory for analysis within 24 hr.
Cores for were sectioned by depth into intervals defined by an "INT TOP" and "INT BOT" entry, with the midpoint of the interval given as depth. Intervals and depth are given as negative numbers to indicate depth below sediment surface. Portions of sediment were dried and analyzed on a Perkin Elmer Elemental Analyzer for carbon and nitrogen content, after acidifying samples to remove carbonates.
Additional cores were sectioned for pigment analysis. Wet sediments were frozen and later analyzed for chlorophyll a and phaeopigment concentrations by extraction with acetone and sonication.

The Plum Island Ecosystems (PIE) LTER is developing a predictive understanding of the response of a linked watershed-marsh-estuarine system in northeastern Massachusetts to rapid environmental change. Over the last 30 years, surface sea water temperatures in the adjacent Gulf of Maine have risen at 3 times the global average, rates of sea-level rise have accelerated, and precipitation has increased. Coupled with these changes in climate and sea level are substantial changes within the rapidly urbanizing watersheds that influence water, sediment, and nutrient delivery to the marsh and estuary. In PIE IV our focus is on: Dynamics of coastal ecosystems in a region of rapid climate change, sea-level rise, and human impacts.
