Table 4. Peak caesium-137 (137Cs) and calculated accretion rates (mean ± s.d.) for palustrine forested and emergent marsh reference wetlands within the Southern Coastal Plain (SCP).
Variable mean (±s.d.) | SCP palustrine forested wetlands (n = 6) | SCP palustrine emergent marsh wetlands (n = 6) |
---|---|---|
137Cs peak depth (mm) | 26.7 ± 15.1a | 33.3 ± 23.4a |
Accretion rate (mm year−1) | 0.6 ± 0.3a | 0.7 ± 0.5a |
