Scrub Mangrove Annual Leaf Net Primary Production Data in Taylor River Slough, Florida Everglades, Florida, USA (FCE LTER): 2012-2021

Foliar Net Primary Productivity (NPPF) of monospecific Rhizophora mangle scrub mangroves (tree height <2.5m) was assessed using modified leaf-tagging techniques (direct count, ring tracking) in the lower Everglades Taylor Slough (FCE-LTER sites: TS/Ph6b and TS/Ph7b). Rings made with plastic zip ties were used to mark and track new and old leaves twice yearly (dry vs. wet season). During each sampling period, total old and new leaves were counted in previously selected branches in vegetated areas inside 20 x 20 m plots (replicates) in each site. Data collection is complete.
This data set is analyzed and discussed in the publication Rivera-Monroy et al. Linking Scrub Mangroves Long-Term (2012-2021) Foliar Net Primary Productivity and Spatial Distribution in the Everglades (Florida, USA): A Leaf Tagging Approach

本研究针对美国大沼泽地（Everglades）下游泰勒斯劳（Taylor Slough）的FCE-LTER站点（TS/Ph6b与TS/Ph7b）内的单优美洲红树（Rhizophora mangle）灌丛红树林（树高<2.5米），采用改良的叶片标记技术（直接计数法、环标记追踪法）开展了叶片净初级生产力（Foliar Net Primary Productivity, NPPF）评估。研究使用塑料扎带制作的标记环，对新生与成熟叶片进行标记并追踪其生长动态，每年开展两次采样（分别对应旱季与雨季）。每次采样期间，在各站点的20×20米重复样地内的植被区域中，对预先选定枝条上的成熟叶片与新生叶片总数进行计数。目前数据采集工作已全部完成。
该数据集的相关分析与讨论见于Rivera-Monroy等人发表的题为《关联美国佛罗里达州大沼泽地灌丛红树林长期（2012-2021年）叶片净初级生产力与空间分布：一种叶片标记法》的学术论文。
