Dataset: Tidal and nontidal marsh restoration: a trade-off between carbon sequestration, methane emissions, and soil accretion

These data were derived as part of a soil characterization study of the Davis Pond freshwater diversion wetland located 18 km upstream of New Orleans in Southeast Louisiana. The sampling was performed in 2018 after 11 years of river loading from diverted Mississippi River water. The top 20 cm of soil was sampled from 140 stations with push cores and divided into two 10 cm sections. Bulk core sections were analyzed for physiochemical properties, soil nutrients, and some metals.
