Soil Characteristics and Accretion Rates in Mangrove Forests across Pohnpei, Federated States of Micronesia
July 26, 2024
Soil cores were collected in mangrove forests across Pohnpei, Federated States of Micronesia to understand spatial variation in accretion rates. Cores were dated using lead-210 and processed for bulk density and organic matter percent through loss-on-ignition analysis. A total of 30 cores were successfully dated across seven regions around the island.
