Summary

Water level was monitored at two mangrove forest sites across Pohnpei, Federated States of Microneisa. Water levels were recorded with pressure-transducing dataloggers (Solinst) for eight months (July 2016-March 2017). Elevation surveys (differential leveling) were used to convert water levels relative to the Earth Geoid Model of 2008.
