Measurements of aquatic production and respiration in tidal creeks draining high and low elevation marshes.

Production and respiration measurements of aquatic systems can help to inform calculations of whole system metabolism. These measurements are focused on creeks draining high and low elevation marsh systems to develop a better understanding of connectivity between aquatic production and consumption and coastal salt marshes. Production and respiration were determined by measuring oxygen changes in creek water incubated in light and dark bottles.
