Physical data for nearshore and subtidal oyster reef sites sampled in 2015 – ...
Abstract Cruise report information and physical data for oyster reef sites sampled in the early fall (September/October) and spring (April/May) from 2015 to 2016. Four... -
Taxonomic diversity among oyster reefs in 2015-2016 in previously documented ...
Abstract Abundance of live organisms (per 0.25 m2 quadrat) found in oyster reefs sampled in the early fall (September/October) and spring (April/May) from 2015 to 2016. Four... -
Impact of DWH oil spill on Spartina alterniflora in the Chandeleur Islands, L...
Abstract Biodiversity, whether functional, taxonomic, or genetic, can influence a range of marine ecosystem services such as productivity and resource utilization. Theory... -
Assessment of marsh/mangrove above and below ground productivity at Chandeleu...
Abstract Productivity of Spartina alterniflora and Avicennia germinans was assessed by measuring growth of shoots/leaves between sampling periods (approximately 3 months).... -
Site characterization using estimates of vegetative cover at Chandeleur Islan...
Abstract To characterize plots as marsh only, mangrove only, or mixed, we employed a simple, effective assessment of percent cover. In each 3m*3m plot, we quantified plant... -
The effects of oiling on salt marsh and mangrove macrofauna communities at th...
Abstract To determine the relative abundances, species number, and composition of macrofauna, all plots were sampled at high tide during the growing season (June and October) in... -
Monthly physical surface water data in an intertidal zone adjacent to a moder...
Abstract Physical data were collected on a monthly basis on the day of sediment collection. This data was used in conjunction with sediment experiments to better understand the... -
Potential denitrification rates in moderately oiled marshes at the Chandeleur...
Abstract The Deepwater Horizon oil spill has contributed to significant loss of marsh vegetation. Decreased marsh vegetation habitats can lead to a reduction in organic carbon... -
Nitrogen cycling processes in oil impacted salt marshes on Chandeleur Islands...
Abstract Denitrification and nitrogen cycling processes were measured from marsh sediments to determine the impact of oiling on salt marsh ecosystems. Five replicate sediment... -
Microphytobenthic community and microelectrode profile responses in oiled coa...
Abstract The Deepwater Horizon oil spill impacted tidal flats in the Gulf of Mexico. This collection of datasets is generated from oiled tidal flat microcosms to examine the oil... -
Microphytobenthic communities in simulated oil spill seagrass mesocosms, May ...
Abstract This data collection was generated from a study in which oiled seagrass bed microcosms were created to examine the oil spill responses on seagrass beds and benthic... -
Quantifying denitrifier functional marker gene abundance from sediments assoc...
Abstract This dataset was generated from a study in which sediments were collected from Chandeleur Islands salt marshes to examine the effect of oil exposure on denitrifier... -
Salt marsh vegetation-mediated response of nitrogen cycling to the Deepwater ...
Abstract This dataset was generated from a study conducted in the Chandeleur Islands, a chain of barrier islands off the coast of Louisiana which were subjected to a gradient of... -
Microbial community composition of sediments associated with co-occurring Avi...
Abstract As oil was deposited differentially within Chandeleur Island salt marshes, it provided the opportunity to investigate the long-term effect on the microbiology of... -
Quantifying denitrifier functional marker gene abundance from sediments assoc...
Abstract This data was generated from a a mesocosm project to examine the effect of oil exposure on denitrifier functional abundance within sediments associated with... -
Impact of Deepwater Horizon oil spill on Spartina alterniflora genetic divers...
Abstract This dataset was generated from a field survey conducted in the Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana that explored the relationship between biodiversity (taxonomic and... -
Effects of oil exposure on multiple predator effects in coastal food webs, a ...
Abstract This collection of datasets was generated from mesocosm experiments conducted from September to December 2017 to examine the effects of oil exposure on trophic... -
Small scale effects of oil exposure on coastal forage species survival and pr...
Abstract This collection of datasets was generated from mesocosm experiments conducted from August to November 2016 to examine the effects of oil exposure on coastal... -
Effects of predator and habitat diversity on coastal food webs, a mesocosm st...
Abstract These datasets were generated from mesocosm experiments conducted from June to September 2017 to examine the effects of predator and habitat diversity on trophic... -
Effects of predator density and diversity on trophic interactions of coastal ...
Abstract These datasets were generated from mesocosm experiments conducted from August to October 2016 to examine the effects of predator density and diversity on trophic...
