Abstract:

This dataset includes October and December 2015 field measurements that complement marsh sediment and water samples collected for characterization of microbial communities in Louisiana marshes, a component of a longitudinal study. Water samples collected offshore from the marsh vegetation edge and sediment samples collected both inland and 1-2 m offshore from the marsh vegetation edge are supported by meter data (water pH, temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen, soil salinity) as well as other field observations.
