Data and code from: Wetland plant growth in recycled glass sand

In two experiments, we compared the biomass of wetland plants grown in mixtures of recycled glass sand (of varying grain sizes) and dredged Mississippi River sand (dredge). Intermediate height measurements are also included in this project. For the first experiment, we grew Salix nigra, Zizaniopsis miliacea, and Sporobolus alterniflorus (Spartina alterniflora) in fine- and coarse-glass sands, dredge, and a coarse-glass/dredge mixture. For the second experiment, we grew Taxodium distichum and Schoenoplectus californicus in a revised coarse-glass blend, dredge, and a mix. For both experiments, we characterized each mixture's porosity, particle density, and bulk density. For the second experiment, we characterized the three mixtures' nutrients, metals, and pH, as well as the nutrient and metal content of S. californicus leaves grown in each mixture.
