Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Catalog Last Checked: August 01, 2026 at 03:34 AM | Dataset Last Updated: July 26, 2024 at 12:00 AM
Soil cores were collected in mangrove forests across Pohnpei, Federated States of Micronesia to understand spatial variation in accretion rates. Cores were dated using lead-210 and processed for bulk density and organic matter percent through loss-on-ignition analysis. A total of 30 cores were successfully dated across seven regions around the island.
