Data accompanying "Fertilizer enhances production more than mussels in a deteriorating salt marsh"

These data accompany the publication of the same name. We performed a two-year manipulative field study in a deteriorating Florida salt marsh dominated by smooth cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora). We examined the interactive effects of ribbed mussel (Geukensia demissa) presence and fertilizer addition on cordgrass production, resistance of cordgrass stems to uprooting, cordgrass regrowth, the abundance of resident fauna, and porewater, leaf tissue, and soil nutrient concentrations. Data used in the manuscript are organized in seven Excel files: 1) cordgrass aboveground biomass, belowground production, and stem density data; 2) cordgrass regrowth data; 3) faunal data; 4) mussel data; 5) nutrient indicator data; 6) cordgrass stem height data; and 7) cordgrass uprooting resistance data. Information describing each dataset can be found in the “Metadata” sheet within each Excel file. This research was funded by the University of Florida Water Institute and the University of Florida School of Forest, Fisheries, and Geomatics Sciences.
