Environmental and periphyton composition data from Biscayne Bay Coastal Wetlands, Florida, USA, July 2022 - November 2022

Environmental and periphyton data were collected from transects in the Biscayne Bay Coastal Wetlands (BBCW) during the wet and dry seasons of 2022 to investigate the rate of carbonate sediment production by periphyton. Environmental data include surface water metrics (pH, salinity, conductivity, and water depth) and soil depths. Periphyton data include nutrient, production, and diatom species composition in samples collected from artificial substrates (periphytometers) placed in the field. Data collection for this project is complete, although the South Florida Management District continues to monitor these transects for a larger ongoing BBCW project.
