    • NOAA RESTORE Science Program: Linking Community and Food-web Approaches to Restoration: Organic matter decomposition in restored vs. natural Louisiana marshes near the West Pointe A La Hache siphon, 2018-05-21 to 2021-07-28 (NCEI Accession 0302679)

    Metadata Updated: March 1, 2026

    This data set contains calculated organic matter decomposition rates from created and natural brackish marshes in Plaquemines parish, Louisiana near the West Pointe A La Hache siphon. One litter bag transect was deployed at six sites in May 2018, May 2019, and May 2021. Each litter bag transect was comprised of five plots at 1, 10, 25, 50, & 100 m from the marsh edge. Each of the five plots contained five litter bags with 25 grams of dried Spartina alterniflora per bag. Bags were deployed for two months. The data set also contains plot locations and elevation, marsh type (created vs. restored), siphon status (open vs. closed), and deployment dates and duration. Data are in spreadsheet format.
