We characterized the abundance of macroalgae and submerged grass in six ponds in three regions of the PIE-LTER marshes during summer 2016. Macroalgal communiteis were dominated by Ulva while Ruppia maritima was the only submerged grass present. Our goal was to determine whether macrophyte abundances varied predictably with pond dimensions (e.g., surface area, volume) or geographic attributes (e.g., elevation, distance from upland, marsh region). Samples were collected from several locations in each pond in order to capture spatial heterogeneity.

Primary producer community composition was characterized in all six ponds between 23-June and 23-August, 2016. Macrophyte abundances (macroalgae, Ruppia maritima) were determined two-to-three times by visually estimating percent cover in six 1 m2 quadrats placed at three random locations along each of two perpendicular transects. The location of the transects was randomly chosen during each sampling event so the same places were not sampled more than once.

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.
