Salt marsh vegetation-mediated response of nitrogen cycling to the Deepwater Horizon spill, Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana from 2017-05-30 to 2018-06-13

This dataset was generated from a study conducted in the Chandeleur Islands, a chain of barrier islands off the coast of Louisiana which were subjected to a gradient of oil deposition following the spill. Starting in May 2017, we collected sediments from plots dominated by black mangrove and smooth cordgrass at a lightly oiled site and a moderately oiled site subjected to a range of oiling to determine the impact of woody encroachment and oiling on sediment denitrification and dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA).
