Data for Regier et al. (2025), "Short-term experimental flooding impacts soil biogeochemistry but not aboveground vegetation in a coastal forest"

Rising sea levels and intensifying storms increase flooding pressure on coastal forests, but the mechanisms that drive coastal forest mortality remain unclear. This study used an ecosystem-scale manipulation (TEMPEST, Terrestrial Ecosystem Manipulation to Probe the Effects of Storm Treatments) to simulate hurricane-level flooding of a coastal forest and explore the individual and interactive impacts of inundation and salinity. This dataset comprises the results reported by Regier et al. (2025) in their paper "Short-term experimental flooding impacts soil biogeochemistry but not aboveground vegetation in a coastal forest." It consists of measurements of: - Belowground conductance - Soil dissolved oxygen and redox - Soil and tree greenhouse gas fluxes - Leaf photosynthesis, stomatal conductance, and intercellular carbon dioxide - Sap flux - Soil volumetric water content and electrical conductivity All files are plain-text CSV (comma separated value) and no special software is required to read them.
