Predicted carbon fluxes in Lake Maurepas swamp forests under various hydrologic and salinity regimes

Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Catalog Last Checked: August 01, 2026 at 04:15 AM | Dataset Last Updated: August 25, 2025 at 12:00 AM
A process-driven biogeochemistry model, Wetland Carbon Assessment Tool - DeNitrification-DeComposition model (WCAT-DNDC) was validated and applied to examine the responses of daily net ecosystem exchange (NEE), net primary productivity (NPP), ecosystem respiration (ER), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions in the Lake Maurepas swamp forests under dry (2011), normal (2019), and wet (2021) conditions, SLR (low 0.27 m and high 0.50 m over the next 50 years), and a Mississippi River (MR) diversion with various hydrologic and salinity regimes. Model simulations were conducted at twelve Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) sites that were classified as three habitats (throughput, relict, and degraded) inside the Lake Maurepas swamp forests.
