About the Project

This multi-reserve catalyst project brought together five reserves to test new sensors that measure carbon dioxide, temperature, and humidity in salt marsh environments. Together the project team and the reserves worked to refine the new technology while collecting over 480 CO2 flux measurements across the New England reserves. This collaborative effort has resulted in increased capacity for NERR staff to collect in situ carbon flux data and strengthened protocols for SWMP biomonitoring.

About the Data

The project generated data on CO2 fluxes in salt marshes throughout the region of New England from December 2023 to Fall 2024. Five sampling time periods captured the dormant season, plant growth, and peak biomass.

Additional details about the data including collection methods and locations can be found in the dataset description.
