Protocols

Standard suite of sediment physical and chemical analyses including bulk density, pH, loss-on-ignition, and root biomass content to characterize biogeochemical properties of pond sediments.

Standardized random sampling technique for measuring substrate particle size distribution by selecting pebbles under the sampler's toe while walking systematic transects.

Statistical modeling approach to estimate salinity and selenium loads using geospatial and water-quality data as predictors.

Real-Time Kinematic Global Navigation Satellite System methods used to survey channel cross-sections and document channel geometry. Cross-sections were re-surveyed to document changes over time.
