Table 1:
Measured soil parameters (Average ± Standard Deviation of all sections above 30 cm) from the three marshes in this study. Winant Slough (WS) averages include bulk density, porosity, and % loss on ignition values from Transect 1 and % clay/silt/sand from Transect 2, as well as data from four other cores taken in the high marsh.
| Marsh Site | Bulk Density (g cm −3) | Porosity | % Loss on Ignition | % Clay | % Silt | % Sand |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| WS | 0.28 ± 0.09 | 0.84 ± 0.04 | 32.1 ± 11.9 | 20.4 ± 2.3 | 67.7 ± 3.8 | 11.8 ± 5.0 |
| KPR | 0.33 ± 0.04 | 0.83 ± 0.02 | 21.7 ± 1.5 | 5.8 ± 0.5 | 81.9 ± 2.9 | 12.4 ± 3.4 |
| BPP | 1.28 ± 0.17 | 0.49 ± 0.05 | 3.1 ± 2.3 | 2.2 ± 1.1 | 17.4 ± 8.1 | 80.5 ± 9.1 |
