Dataset: Direct and indirect effects of climate change in coastal wetlands
Description
This dataset was created based off the Coastwide Reference and Monitoring Sites (CRMS) data (Retrieved from Coastal Information Management System database: http://cims.coastal.louisiana.gov [Accessed 21 June 2017] ). We analysed plant species composition, soil pore water salinity (ppt) and water depth (cm) part of that CRMS dataset that were consistently monitored by CRMS over the period of 11 years (2007 – 2017, see file "VegAllEnvData_03july2018.csv") Additionally, to assign each species in the dataset as native/introduced, we obtained a Louisiana introduced species lists from the Louisiana Native Plant Society (https://www.lnps.org/references, see file "LA_Plants_Clean.csv"). The outcomes of the analysis of these date were published in: Christina Birnbaum, Paweł Waryszak and Emily C. Farrer (accepted in 2021) Effects of climate and invasion on vegetation patterns in rapidly declining coastal wetlands in Louisiana. Wetlands.
