Mangrove Litterfall from the Shark River Slough and Taylor Slough, Everglades National Park (FCE), South Florida, USA, January 2001 - ongoing

Monthly litterfall data is being collected in two mangrove-dominated regions (Shark River and Taylor Slough) in South Florida. Three sites (SRS4, SRS5, SRS6) in the Shark River region and one site (TS/Ph8) in the Joe Bay area region were used to characterize patterns of litterfall production. At each mangrove site 10 litter baskets (0.5 x 0.5 m) were placed in two 20 x 20 m plots (five baskets per plot). Data have been collected since January 2001. Statistical analysis is being performed.研究团队正在佛罗里达州南部的两个以红树林为主的区域（鲨鱼河（Shark River）与泰勒沼泽（Taylor Slough））开展月度凋落物量（litterfall）数据采集工作。本次研究选取鲨鱼河区域内的3个样地（SRS4、SRS5、SRS6）以及乔湾（Joe Bay）区域内的1个样地（TS/Ph8），用于表征凋落物产量的分布规律。在每处红树林样地中，于2个20米×20米的样方内各布设10个规格为0.5米×0.5米的凋落物收集筐，每个样方布设5个收集筐。数据采集工作自2001年1月起持续开展，目前相关统计分析工作正在进行中。
