Title:Sea-level rise and freshwater management are reshaping coastal ecosystems in the Florida Everglades
Alternate Identifier:DOI PLACE HOLDER
Abstract:

Datasets include hydrology (water level and salinity), net ecosystem exchange of CO2, PAR, and air temperature for a freshwater marl prairie, brackish marsh ecotone, and saline scrub mangrove forest. Data were derived from multiple sources, including two sites from the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) DBhydro web database, two sites from the Florida Coastal Everglades Long Term Ecological Research (FCE-LTER) and three AmeriFlux sites in the Southeastern Everglades region. To understand the effects of sea level rise and freshwater management on landscape carbon exchange (C), we measured the net ecosystem exchange of CO2 (NEE) between subtropical wetland ecosystems and the atmosphere along a dynamic salinity gradient. Ecosystems were representative of freshwater marl prairies, brackish marsh ecotones, and saline scrub mangrove forests. In the southeastern Everglades, the magnitude of environmental change was greatest along the coast, where mangrove scrub forests exhibited a greater capacity to maintain CO2 uptake with changing conditions.

Abstract:

The data in this project are associated with the development of a masters thesis project and a manuscript. The project evaluates changes in hydrology and effects on CO2 exchange in three ecosystems in the Everglades: a freshwater marl prairie, brackish ecotone, and scrub mangrove. All data was derived from publicly available monitoring sources from the South Florida Water Management District database, Florida Coastal Everglades LTER database, and AmeriFlux. We evaluated long term changes (>25 years) in salinity and water level in coastal and inland locations. Long term data was not available for the ecosystem sites that had CO2 exchange data, so we used data from nearby stations. We then compared water level and surface salinity relationships in the three ecosystems to understand how water level affects salinity. Lastly, we developed light and temperature response curves under different water level conditions to understand how submergence of vegetation affects ecosystem scale function and CO2 dynamics.
