Description:
Abstract:
Saline tidal wetlands are important sites of carbon sequestration and produce negligible methane (CH4) emissions due to regular inundation with sulfate-rich seawater. Yet, widespread management of coastal hydrology has restricted vast areas of coastal wetlands to tidal exchange. These ecosystems often undergo impoundment and freshening, which in turn cause vegetation shifts like invasion by Phragmites, that affect ecosystem carbon balance. Understanding controls of carbon exchange in these understudied ecosystems is critical for informing climate consequences of blue carbon restoration and/or management interventions. Here we present measurements of net ecosystem exchange of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane, along with ancillary meteorological data, collected from coastal wetlands across Cape Cod to evaluate the effect of hydrological management and salinity on carbon exchange in coastal wetlands.
Purpose:
Eddy covariance measurements of net ecosystem exchange of carbon dioxide and methane were collected continuously at half-hourly intervals to assess the magnitude and drivers of carbon exchange in an impounded coastal wetland. Data were also collected to inform predictive models of carbon fluxes across coastal wetlands of varying salinity and to facilitate National Park Service restoration planning and future blue carbon project assessments.

Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
The LI-7200A Open Path CO2 /H2O Gas Analyzer has an accuracy within 1 percent of reading for carbon dioxide (CO2) and within 2 percent of reading for water (H2O) vapor. The LI-7700 Open Path CH4 Gas Analyzer has a resolution of 5 ppb at 10 Hz and 2000 ppb methane (CH4). The instrument calibration was checked using laboratory calibration gases prior to field measurements in spring 2020 and approximately every three months in the field using calibration gases. Fluxes were computed using EddyPro software (Version 7.0.6) and additional details on QA/QC are outlined in the Process Step 1. Manufacturer's specifications for the HOBO Temperature/RH Smart Sensor (S-THB-M00x) are accuracy of 0.2 degrees C over 0 degrees to 50 degrees C and +/- 2.5 percent from 10 percent to 90 percent RH (typical), to a maximum of +/- 3.5 percent. Accuracy of the PAR sensor +/- 5 micromoles per meter squared per second and resolution of the photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) sensor is 2.5 micromoles per meter squared per second. Relative humidity (RH) sensor was enclosed within a solar radiation shield and deployed on a mast with other meteorological sensors. No formal attribute accuracy tests were conducted.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
Each logged parameter set was queried for maximum and minimum values to be sure logged data fell within expected ranges for the environmental conditions.
Completeness_Report:
Gaps in the continuous data record for a given parameter may have been the result of one of several sources: sensor not deployed during that time period, vandalism of an instrument by humans or destruction by chewing animals, removal of an instrument for maintenance, corrupt data file due to malfunctioning instrument, poor data quality. Description of data filtering in included in process step. Exclusions of data from the continuous record are coded as blank cells.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
An eddy covariance system was originally installed at the Herring River site in 2017 (2017-2020 data not available at time of this publication) to collect ecosystem scale measurements of CO2 and CH4 fluxes across the land surface (tower is part of the Ameriflux network code US-HRP). A tripod tower was equipped with a LI-7500A open path CO2/H2O analyzer (LI-COR, Inc., Lincoln, NE, USA) and a LI-7700 open path CH4 analyzer (LI-COR, Inc., Lincoln, NE, USA), along with a CSAT-3 3D sonic anemometer (Campbell Scientific, Logan, UT, USA). Instruments are deployed at 4.4 m height above the ground surface, along with a suite of meteorological sensors that measure air temperature and humidity (Onset HOBO Temperature/RH Smart Sensor (S-THB-M00x), Bourne, MA, USA), incoming photosynthetically active radiation (PAR; Onset HOBO Photosynthetically Active Radiation Smart Sensor S-LIA-M003, Bourne, MA, USA), and precipitation (Onset HOBO Rain Gauge Smart Sensor S-Rgx-M002, Bourne, MA, USA). Anemometer and gas analyzer data were collected at a frequency of 10 Hz and ancillary meteorological data were collected every five minutes. Data were downloaded every 3-4 weeks as compressed .ghg files from the anemometer and gas analyzers and as .csv files for the ancillary meterological sensors.

Process_Description:
Half hourly fluxes of CO2 and CH4 were computed from the covariation of high frequency vertical wind direction and CO2 and CH4 concentration using the EddyPro software package (Version 7.0.6, LICOR, Inc., Lincoln, NE, USA), as well as latent heat exchange and friction velocity. Within software specifications, raw high frequency data were despiked and a double coordinate rotation was applied to anemometer measurements along with a flux correction for the effects of humidity on sonic air temperature, high-frequency and low-frequency spectral attenuations, and air density fluctuations coupled to instrument-related sensible heat flux in the winter. Computed fluxes were exported to .csv files. We report fluxes of carbon dioxide as net ecosystem exchange (NEE), where negative values for both NEE and CH4 indicate net uptake of gas by the land surface and positive values indicate net loss of gas to the atmosphere. We removed low quality measurements (ranked as less than or equal to 1 quality flag per EddyPro based on Mauder and Foken, 2006), measurements made during and immediately following precipitation events, and any measurement collected during site maintenance or known instrument malfunction. We also removed measurements made during low‐turbulence conditions with potential advective losses and when friction velocity, ustar, was below a site specific threshold of 0.118 meters per second calculated in the R-based software package REddyProc (Version 1.2.2, Wutzler and others 2018). Instrument malfunction caused a gap in some meteorological data from late-January through mid-April 2021 and are represented as blanks in the data. The .csv files containing the meterological data and the .csv file containing the computed fluxes were matched by datetime and merged in R.

Process_Description:
Latitude, longitude and elevation of the eddy covariance tower was measured with a Trimble Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) GPS. Accuracy was 2-3 cm according to instrument corrections. Data files were exported from the instrument via a .csv file and appended to the data file of calculated fluxes via R.

Process_Description:
Measurements were continued as described above from May 2021 to May 2022. All new data were processed as described above and 17308 records were appended to the original dataset (17568 records) bringing the total dataset to 34876 records and revising the end date of the dataset from May 23, 2021 to May 18, 2022. In addition, newly available data was added to blank columns in the last 71 rows of the original dataset, but the original dataset is otherwise unchanged and no existing data values were modified. The metadata was updated to reflect the new ranges of values.
