Description:

Abstract:

To understand sediment deposition in marsh environments, scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey, St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (USGS-SPCMSC) selected four study sites in the Grand Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, Mississippi (GNDNERR). Each site consisted of four plots located along a transect perpendicular to the marsh-estuary shoreline at 5-meter (m) increments (5, 10, 15, and 20 m from the shoreline). Each plot contained four net sedimentation tiles (NST) that were secured flush to the marsh surface using polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe. NST are an inexpensive and simple tool to assess short- and long-term deposition that can be deployed in highly dynamic environments without the compaction associated with traditional coring methods. The NST were deployed for three months, measuring quarterly sediment deposition for one year from October 2016 to October 2017. In addition, three NST were deployed at the 10-m plot on October 5th prior to the landfall of Hurricane Nate (October 8, 2017) and retrieved after 12 days, providing measurements of storm deposition. Sediment deposited on the NST were processed to determine physical characteristics, such as deposition thickness, volume, wet weight/dry weight, and organic content (loss-on-ignition [LOI]). When available, additional data collected at each site including water level, elevation, and turbidity data are provided in this data release. Data were collected during Field Activities Numbers (FAN) 2017-303-FA, 2017-315-FA, 2017-333-FA, 2017-346-FA, and 2017-363-FA (also known as subFANs 17CCT01, 17CCT02, 17CCT03, 17CCT04, and 17CCT05, respectively). Additional survey and data details are available from the U.S. Geological Survey Coastal and Marine Geoscience Data System (CMGDS) at, https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/. Please read the full metadata for details on data collection, dataset variables, and data quality.

Purpose:

Net sedimentation tiles (also called sediment plates, tiles, or traps) are an inexpensive tool to assess sediment deposition in coastal zones. Each of the four study sites consisted of four NST plots at 5, 10, 15, and 20m from the shoreline, with four NSTs per distance (total of 16 NSTs per site). Multiple NSTs per distance were used to assess the spatial variation within the marsh and across the shoreline to the marsh interior. The NSTs were collected and redeployed every three months to assess sediment deposition seasonally and over the one-year study period.

Supplemental_Information:

Each field visit was assigned a FAN by the USGS SPCMSC to assist with dataset tracking. Data were collected from each site during quarterly field visits. An additional survey was conducted at the end of the sampling period to measure storm deposition associated with the landfall of Hurricane Nate, on October 8, 2017. This dataset contains data from five field activities: 1) 2017-303-FA (17CCT01), Fall, October 2016 to January 2017, 2) 2017-315-FA (17CCT02), Winter, January 2017 to April 2017, 3) 2017-333-FA (17CCT03), Spring, April 2017 to July 2017, 4) 2017-346-FA (17CCT04), Summer, July 2017 to October 2017, and 5) 2017-363-FA (17CCT05), Hurricane Nate, October 5thto October 18th, 2017. NSTs were deployed on the start date and collected on the end date.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

In October 2016, NSTs (4.25 inch [in] X 4.25 in ceramic floor tiles turned upside-down that were glued to a PVC end cap and attached to a short PVC pole) were deployed at four study sites within the Grand Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, Mississippi. NSTs were deployed at 5, 10, 15, and 20 m inland and perpendicular to the shoreline. At each distance, four NSTs were placed in randomly selected locations within a 1-mquadrat, referred to as the "NST plot" or "tile plot". Each NST was gently pushed down into the marsh surface until the NST was flush with the marsh surface. Each study site consisted of four distances with four plates at each distance, for a total of 16 plates at each site, for an overall 64 plates deployed each trip. For more information on NST construction and deployment, refer to Terrano, 2018.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

After the initial deployment of NSTs in October 2016, the NSTs were collected and redeployed every three months (January 2017, April 2017, July 2017, and October 2017). The NSTs were collected in early October and redeployed to capture deposition from Hurricane Nate in mid-October. For specific dates the NSTs were deployed and collected refer to the data file. Each collection trip consisted of gently removing the NST from the marsh surface and scraping off sediment hanging off the sides of the NST. NSTs were placed it in a transport container for processing back at the USGS SPCMSC sedimentology laboratory. NSTs were last collected in October 2017 and were not redeployed. For additional information related to NST collection, refer to Terrano, 2018.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

NSTs were processed in the USGS SPCMSC sedimentology laboratory shortly after each sample collection trip. Sediment depth (thickness) was determined by using a small metal probe to measure the depth of the sediment deposited on the NST. Wet volume was determined by packing the sediment into a syringe. The wet sediment was weighed and dried for 48 hours at 60 degrees Celsius (°C) to obtain a dry weight. Additional information about sediment processing can be found in Terrano, 2018.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Organic matter content was determined with a mass loss technique, referred to as loss on ignition (LOI). The dry sediment from the previous process was homogenized with a porcelain mortar and pestle. Approximately 0.5-5 grams (g) of the dry sediment was placed into a pre-weighed porcelain crucible. The mass of the dried sediment was recorded. The sample was then placed inside a laboratory muffle furnace with stabilizing temperature control. The furnace was heated to 110 °C for a minimum of 6 hours to remove hygroscopic water absorbed onto the sediment particles. The furnace temperature was then lowered to 60 °C, at which point the sediments could be reweighed. The dried sediment was returned to the muffle furnace. The furnace was heated to 550 °C over 30 minutes and kept at 550 °C for 6 hours. The furnace temperature was then lowered to 60 °C and held at this temperature until the sediments could be reweighed. The latter step prevents the absorption of moisture, which can affect the measurement. The mass lost during the 6-hour baking period relative to the 110 °C-dried mass is used as a metric of organic matter content. Data are reported as a ratio of mass (g) of organic matter to mass (g) of dry sediment (post-110 °C drying). If necessary, replicate analyses of loss on ignition was conducted for quality assurance and those values were averaged.
