Sediment and nutrient deposition and plant-soil phosphorus interactions associated with Hurricane Irma (2017) in mangroves of the Florida Coastal Everglades (FCE LTER), Florida

We quantified how Hurricane Irma influenced soil nutrient pools,
vertical accretion, and plant phosphorus (P) uptake after its passage
across the Florida Coastal Everglades in September 2017. Mangrove leaf
litter data from three years (2008, 2014, 2018) were selected for each
site at Shark River estuary to identify species-specific foliar P
responses post-Wilma’s impact in 2005 and immediate post-Irma’s impact
in 2017. We also monitored porewater SRP concentrations in the Shark
River mangrove sites to evaluate the effect of Hurricane Irma on soil
chemistry. The data in this data package were used in the following
