Salt marshes sequester more carbon per unit area than any terrestrial ecosystem and are an important component of "blue carbon" the atmospheric carbon captured and stored by marine ecosystems. However, salt marshes are also experiencing numerous stressors that compromise their function. To understand the role salt marshes play in climate change mitigation, and the effects of climate change and restoration efforts on carbon cycling, it is essential to quantify the fluxes of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane. Currently, there is a severe lack of salt marsh greenhouse gas flux data, as technologies for measuring these fluxes are logistically challenging, often destructive to marshes, and cost prohibitive.

Currently, there is a severe lack of salt marsh greenhouse gas flux data, as technologies for measuring these fluxes are logistically challenging, often destructive to marshes, and cost prohibitive. This project addresses the technological and scientific knowledge gaps by providing intended users with an easy to use, non-invasive, cost-effective, novel sensor package that will enable high resolution carbon dioxide and methane flux data collection. The team will test the current sensor model packages at all five New England reserves and incorporate user suggested changes to increase the ease and efficiency of flux measurements. The team will then develop a universal protocol for deploying these sensors in combination with ongoing system-wide monitoring throughout the Reserve System. completed Office for Coastal Management 2234 South Hobson Avenue Charleston SC 29405-2413 https://www.coast.noaa.gov/ WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Office for Coastal Management Website Website listed for Office for Coastal Management information custodian asNeeded EARTH SCIENCE > BIOSPHERE > ECOLOGICAL DYNAMICS > ECOSYSTEM FUNCTIONS > CARBON SEQUESTRATION EARTH SCIENCE > BIOSPHERE > ECOSYSTEMS > MARINE ECOSYSTEMS > COASTAL > SALT MARSH theme Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords 17.0 blue carbon monitoring theme Connecticut; Great Bay NERR, NH Narragansett Bay NERR, RI Waquoit Bay NERR, MA Wells NERR, ME place DOC/NOAA/NOS/OCM > Office of Coastal Management, National Ocean Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2017-04-24 publication 8.5 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.
