General:
This data set is part of an on-going LTER project at the Plum Island Ecosystem (PIE) site.
Sampling Description:
The biomass-estimation method is destructive. Three plots were permanently established in the marsh. For sampling, a 10x10 cm quadrat is placed randomly in each plot, and all plants are clipped within 1 cm of the sediment surface and placed into a labelled plastic bag for transport to the lab. Live and dead plants are separated, and live plants are separated by species. Plants are placed into labelled paper bags, dried at 60C and weighed. Sampling occurs approximately monthly from May to Oct.
Data processing:
All data are entered into an Excel spreadsheet where mean treatment biomass in gdw/m2 is determined.
Elevation: ~ 1.45 meters NAVD88 (surveyed summer 2021)

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.
