Abstract

This dataset is from a greenhouse study on the effects of flooding and nutrient-enrichment on two marsh plant species common to Louisiana. The greenhouse study tested the effects of flooding (5, 45, and 90% time flooded) and nutrients (control and 2 mgN/L + 0.1 mgP/L) on growth and strength of Sporobolus pumilus and Sagittaria lancifolia. Sporobolus at higher elevation had higher aboveground biomass and higher shear strength than at low elevation. Measurements include above-and belowground biomass and soil shear stength.
