Sediment Oxygen and Sulfide Microprofiles in Extant and Restored Marshes of Jamaica Bay (New York, NY, USA)

Methods used to collect and analyze these data are available in a manuscript, "Marsh plants enhance coastal marsh resilience by changing sediment redox conditions in an urban, eutrophic estuary," currently under review. "20171016_O2Profiles_All.csv" and "20171016_H2SProfiles_All.csv" contain vertical microprofiles of O 2 and H 2 S concentrations in sediment cores from each sites.

Microprofiles were measured using a motorized microprofiling system. "h2s_parameters.csv" and "o2_parameters.csv" contain parameters from logistic fits of microprofile data. These parameters describe: (1) maximum concentrations, (2) rates of increase/decline, and (3) depths of maximum increase/decline. "20180627_MicroprofileCores_SedimentData.csv" contains sediment characteristics (bulk density, porosity, organic content) for each sediment core. "20180627_MicroprofileCores_PlantData.csv" contains aboveground and belowground plant characteristics for Spartina alterniflora in the cores. "20180730_Inundation_summarydata.csv" contains daily tidal inundation data for each location. "depthProfiler_app.R" is a shiny app that may be run locally to visualize logistic fits to all profile data.
