Soil salinity at GCE-LTER vegetation monitoring plots in October 2013

Soil samples were collected in conjunction with Fall 2013 plant monitoring at half of the permanent vegetation monitoring plots in the creekbank and midmarsh zones at 10 GCE study sites. Pore-water salinity was determined by analysis of supernatant salinity in dried soil samples hydrated with a measured volume of deionized water.

土壤样品与2013年秋季植物监测同步采集，采集点位为10个GCE研究站点内河岸带与中潮沼带的半数永久性植被监测样地。孔隙水盐度的测定方式为：将烘干后的土壤样品用定量体积的去离子水进行水化处理，随后分析其上清液的盐度。
