This portion of the data release presents physical characteristics and percent cover data from vegetation plots sampled in China Camp State Park salt marsh (northern San Francisco Bay) in 2015, 2016, and 2017. One-meter quadrats (1m x 1m) were analyzed for percent cover of each vegetation species present, average canopy height, and maximum canopy height. The percent cover was done by visual inspection. A quarter-meter quadrat (0.25m x 0.25m) was then used for stem count and stem diameter measurements. Stem counts were only done for S. foliosa. These quadrats ran along the instruments used to collect sediment and hydrodynamic data, which is described elsewhere in this data release. This survey was conducted on January 23, 2015 (winter conditions) and again on June 6, 2016 (summer conditions). A separate survey was conducted on September 29, 2016 and May 3, 2017, to measure the length, width, and spacing of S. foliosa leaves. Data collected are provided as a comma-delimited spreadsheet (.csv). Purpose: Data from these experiments will be used to investigate the spatial and temporal variation in suspended sediment transport at the marsh boundary in order to better inform predictions of marsh resilience, and offer more complete characterizations of sediment transport and conditions within this unique environment. Data can be used to parameterize vegetative drag and understand the effect of the vegetation on wave attenuation.

Absolute cover for each species was estimated, which allows the total cover to be greater than 100%. An average of the researchers' estimates was used if the difference was less than 10%. When differences were greater than 10%, the plot was discussed until a concensus was reached. Canopy heihgt was estimated by placing a meter stick vertically in the center of the quadrat. Maximum height was directly measured with a meter stick. Metrics pertaining to individual stems were measured with calipers. Logical_Consistency_Report: No formal logical accuracy tests were conducted. Data fall within expected ranges. Completeness_Report: Dataset is considered complete for the information presented, as described in the abstract. Users are advised to read the rest of the metadata record carefully for additional details. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Horizontal accuracy derived from GPS instrumentation is less than 1 m (less than 5 m for surveys of individual stems). The position and elevation of each quadrat was measured using RTK-GPS; the GPS base station was located on an established benchmark 0.5 km away. Vertical_Positional_Accuracy: Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Vertical accuracy derived from GPS instrumentation is less than 0.05 m. The position and elevation of each quadrat was measured using RTK-GPS; the GPS base station was located on an established benchmark 0.5 km away.
