Summary

This dataset provides bi-monthly data on seed biomass collected in shallow water habitats across the fresh to saline gradient at coastal sites in Barataria Bay, Louisiana. This project was co-funded by the South Central Climate Adaptation Science Center and the Gulf Coast Prairie and the Gulf Coastal Plains and Ozarks Landscape Conservation Cooperatives.

Purpose

The data were collected to document seed biomass, by species, of resources located in shallow water coastal areas to use as inputs to waterfowl carrying capacity models. These data can be used to estimated potential waterfowl food resources, and merged with a dataset that documents associated environmental and submerged aquatic vegetation data (https://doi.org/10.5066/F7M61HG4).
