What the team realized it needed to do was to compare satellite NDWI data from multiple seasons and different tidal levels against a robust sample of salt marsh sediment gathered in the field ...
Coastal salt marsh sediments are highly productive ecosystems exhibiting diverse metabolic functions that vary over both space and time. Abundant organic carbon input leads to anoxic conditions near ...
