Mangrove Litterfall from the Shark River Slough and Taylor Slough, Everglades National Park (FCE), South Florida from January 2001 to December 2004

Monthly litterfall data is being collected in two mangrove-dominated regions (Shark River and Taylor Slough) in South Florida. Three sites (SRS4, SRS5, SRS6) in the Shark River region and one site (TS/Ph8) in the Taylor Slough region were used to characterize patterns of litterfall production. At each mangrove site 10 litter baskets (0.5 x 0.5 m) were placed in two 20 x 20 m plots (five baskets per plot). Data has been collected since January 2001. Statistical analysis is being performed.

本数据集采集了美国南佛罗里达州两片以红树林为优势植被的区域（鲨鱼河（Shark River）与泰勒斯劳（Taylor Slough））的月度凋落物量（litterfall）数据。其中，鲨鱼河区域内设置了SRS4、SRS5、SRS6共3个样地，泰勒斯劳区域内设置了TS/Ph8共1个样地，用于表征凋落物产量的分布特征。在每个红树林样地中，于2块20 m × 20 m的样方内各放置10个规格为0.5 m × 0.5 m的凋落物收集篮，即每个样方放置5个收集篮。该数据的采集工作自2001年1月起开展，目前相关统计分析工作正在进行中。
