Simulated net primary productivity and greenhouse gas emissions under various soil salinity and water table depth combinations in low salinity tidal wetlands

The dataset contains simulated net primary productivity (NPP) and greenhouse gas emissions (CH4, N2O, CO2) under a series of combinations of soil salinities (0.1, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 psu) and water table depth (WTDs) (-30, -20, -10, -5, 0, 5, 10, 20, 30 cm) for tidal forest and oligohaline marsh sites along the Savannah River and Waccamaw River, USA.

Molecular data and results needed to better understand codiversification of freshwater mussels (Unionidae: Quadrulini) and their parasitic larval hosts

The North American freshwater mussel tribe Quadrulini has a suite of life history adaptations, however, the evolution of life histories in this group has yet to be explored using comparative phylogenetic methods. Here we provide the AHE DNA sequence alignment representing 27 species from the subfamily Ambleminae that was used to estimate a phylogenomic reconstruction of Quadrulini. Additionally, w

Satellite tracking of sea turtles using Biscayne National Park, 2009-2021

This dataset includes details of loggerhead and green turtles captured and satellite tagged between 2009 and 2021; the turtles presented here have tracking days within Biscayne National Park. A subset of turtles was captured within Biscayne National Park, whereas others were tracked to the study site, and tagged elsewhere. The dataset contains information related to satellite tracking (e.g., track

Soil surface elevation change data from rod surface elevation tables (rSET) from mangrove forests at Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge, Sanibel Island, Florida (2018-2022)

This study monitored soil surface elevation change from mangrove forests fertilized with nitrogen and phosphorus from 2018-2021. The mangroves selected at Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) have been previously exposed to high nutrient loading from agricultural discharge into the Caloosahatchee River, which elevated soil phosphorus levels to 3-4 times ambient before treatments were impose

Soil and pneumatophore CO2 flux data by nutrient treatment (N, P) for mangroves of Ding Darling NWR, Sanibel Island, Florida (2020)

This study evaluated CO2 flux from soils and pneumatophores of Avicennia germinans mangrove trees subjected to nitrogen and phosphorus fertilization versus an unfertilized control with a basin mangrove ecosystem. Data were collected twice, once in the summer (June 2020) and once in the winter (November 2020) and will be used to help develop a carbon budget for basin mangroves on Sanibel Island, Fl

Carbon and nitrogen isotopic values from three omnivorous turtles, vegetation, and potential prey resources in the Santa Fe River, Florida sampled 2019-2020

All samples were collected within a 9km stretch of the Santa Fe River in northern Florida, USA. In 2019 and 2020 we sampled claw tissue from Macrochelys suwanniensis, Chelydra serpentina, and Trachemys scripta scripta, from three different sampling locations. We collected Vegetation and potential prey tissue samples within close proximity of turtle captures from two of the three capture locations.

GPS telemetry of Florida manatees and riverine water temperatures from southwest Florida 2002-2015

These data represent 1) GPS telemetry of 40 Florida manatees from 2002 through 2008, covering southwest Florida from Charlotte Harbor to Florida Bay, and 2) water temperature readings from 10 riverine sites in the Everglades region of southwest Florida using Onset dataloggers from 2008 through 2015.

The Oysters of Chicopit Bay, Florida, 2016-2018

This data set was generated to evaluate the status and response of oysters within Chicopit Bay, FL, in the Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve during and following dredging completed by the Army Corps of Engineers for the Mile Point Project.  It includes live oyster area estimates from aerial images collected in 2016-2018.

Molecular, morphological, and distributional data supporting the recognition of an undescribed freshwater mussel endemic to the Edwards Plateau in the Colorado River basin

The widespread distribution of Strophitus undulatus, as well as high intraspecific morphological variation, has led previous authors to doubt the taxon is representative of a single species. Here we provide detailed information for all the freshwater mussels and associated DNA sequence data utilized to test species boundaries in S. undulatus. These molecular data, in combination with morphological

Carbon and nitrogen isotopic analysis of Diamondback terrapin tissues, vegetative, and benthic invertebrate resources within Barnegat Bay, New Jersey during 3 sampling sessions between 2011-2019

This dataset represents stable carbon and nitrogen isotopic information from tissue samples collected from diamondback terrapins, potential prey items, and vegetation from 6 salt marsh sites (4 mainland, 2 island) within a 30 km section of southern Barnegat Bay, New Jersey, USA. Red blood cells were collected from terrapins in 2011 (mature females), and whole blood samples were collected in 2015 a

Data to support surface elevation change and vertical accretion data to support assessment of hummock formation/loss in tidal freshwater forested wetlands along the U.S. Atlantic coast (2009-2021)

This study evaluated surface elevation change and vertical accretion of sediments in hollows and on top of hummocks associated with the base of tree stems in tidal freshwater forested wetlands. Sites were along a gradient of habitat change from freshwater forest to marsh and tracked hollow subsidence and in-filling with transgression over 6 (Virginia) to 12 (South Carolina/Georgia) years. Both dee

Sap flow, leaf water use efficiency, and partial weather station data to support stand water use modeling by nutrient treatment (N, P) for mangroves of Ding Darling NWR, Sanibel Island, Florida (2019-2020)

This study evaluated sap flow of neotropical mangrove species subjected to background nutrient loading, and well as fertilization with either nitrogen or phosphorus, at Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge (NWR). Data collections were made seasonally to model stand water use by mangrove forests as a metric of ecosystem stress through alteration of water use potential at the stand level. Data on l
