Abstract:

Nassarius obsoletus (Ilyanassa obsoleta) length and biomass measurements for Rowley River tidal creeks associated with long term fertilization experiments, Rowley and Ipswich, MA. The TIDE project aims to simulate eutrophication on a large scale by the addition of  NO3-   aiming to reach 70μM concentrations from May to September every year during the growing season.  This fertilization of the marsh has been going on at Sweeney Creek since the 2004 growing season through 2014 and at Clubhead Creek in 2005 and from 2009 till 2014.

Methods and protocols used in the collection of this data package
Description:

Methods
All samples taken in late 2009-10, 2012-2014  In the field, 10 quadrats were haphazardly tossed in the creek bottoms at low tide along 250 meters.    
Creeks-
Reference creeks are West and Nelson
Nutrient Enriched creeks are Sweeney and Clubhead.  Sweeney has been fertilized every summer from  2004-2014  Clubhead had been fertilized in  2005 and then from 2009-2014.
All creeks have two branches determined by direction at confluence while facing upstream (Left or Right).

Abstract:

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.
