Dataset: Tidal freshwater forest accretion does not keep pace with sea level rise

This dataset accompanies Craft 2012, “Tidal freshwater forest accretion does not keep pace with sea level rise”. It consists of soil core data collected from 3 healthy tidal floodplain forests on the Georgia coastline; Ogeechee, Altamaha, and Satilla, as well as the South Newport River catchment, which experienced dieback as result of salt water intrusion from both natural and anthropogenic causes. Dry bulk density, organic C and N, as well as total P were measured from the levee and floodplain of each site, as well as analysis of 210Pb and 137Cs activities to determine vertical accretion.
