Sage Lot Pond

Sage Lot Pond is a small tidal embayment located in Waquoit Bay and is the site of the Salt Marsh Observatory, managed by the Waquoit Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (WNERR). This infrastructure has supported intensive studies on wetland biogeochemical processes related to lateral export of carbon, nutrients, and other constituents; evaluation of the controls on greenhouse gas fluxes in coastal wetlands and their potential to change due to environmental change; and research on the controls of carbon cycle and other key geochemical processes within wetlands that impact their resilience and stability. The U.S. Geological Survey has conducted extensive deployment of continuous sensors, as well as made measurements of a wide-range [...]
