Coastal Biodiversity and Ecosystem Service Sustainability (CBESS) sedimentation and erosion monitoring over saltmarsh and mudflat habitats

The dataset details surface elevation and sedimentation measurements across five UK saltmarsh sites. Two of the sites were in Morecambe Bay, North West England and three of the sites were in Essex, South East England, each of these sites consisted of a saltmarsh area and adjacent mudflat area. Rod Sedimentation-Erosion Tables (rSETs) were installed at different distances from the vegetated margin. Three rSETs were deployed for each Essex site and four for the Morecambe sites. rSET benchmarks were installed with associated marker horizons to evaluate surface elevation changes and surface accretion respectively. This data was collected as part of Coastal Biodiversity and Ecosystem Service Sustainability (CBESS): NE/J015644/1. The project was funded with support from the Biodiversity and Ecosystem Service Sustainability (BESS) programme. BESS is a six-year programme (2011-2017) funded by the UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) and the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) as part of the UK's Living with Environmental Change (LWEC) programme.

本数据集详尽地记录了英国五个盐沼地区的地表高程和沉积物测量数据。其中，两个站点位于英格兰西北部的默西姆湾，另外三个站点位于英格兰东南部的埃塞克斯。每个站点均包含盐沼区域及其相邻的泥滩区域。在植被边缘不同距离处安装了罗德沉积侵蚀表（rSETs）。每个埃塞克斯站点部署了三个rSETs，而默西姆湾站点则部署了四个。rSETs的基准点与相应的标记层一起安装，以评估地表高程变化和地表堆积。该数据收集是作为海岸生物多样性及生态系统服务可持续性（CBESS）项目的一部分，项目编号为NE/J015644/1。该项目得到了生物多样性及生态系统服务可持续性（BESS）计划的支持。BESS是一项为期六年的计划（2011-2017），由英国自然环境研究委员会（NERC）和生物技术与生物科学研究中心（BBSRC）资助，作为英国与生态环境变化共存（LWEC）计划的一部分。关于该数据集的详细信息，可在以下链接中找到：https://doi.org/10.5285/b71f1244-3bc2-4b52-bf64-f3e479860e28。
