It contains data extracted and compiled from 187 papers. The data included in this database were part of a systematic literature review and meta-analysis focused on understanding recovery of structural and functional attributes of a marsh following restoration, marsh primary productivity, and nekton utilization of coastal shallow estuarine habitats in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM). The data were extracted to 1) evaluate whether vegetation, soil, and nekton parameters at restored marsh sites recovered to levels found at paired reference sites, 2) estimate primary productivity of marsh habitat, and 3) understand general patterns in nekton utilization across shallow estuarine habitat types, including marsh, oyster reefs, submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV), and open-water non-vegetated bottom (NVB) in the northern GOM. This archival package contains the data in the original Microsoft Database as well as the database exported to Comma Separated Value (.csv), Excel spreadsheets(.xlsx) and Portable Document Format (.pdf) files. This research was funded by contracts from the State of Louisiana and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to Abt Associates (and its predecessor company, Stratus Consulting) for work associated with the Deepwater Horizon oil spill natural resource damage assessment. This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis. completed historicalArchive NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information ncei.info@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/contact HTTPS NCEI Contact Information Information for contacts at NCEI. information pointOfContact asNeeded https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/metadata/landing-page/bin/gfx?id=gov.noaa.nodc:0168339 Preview graphic PNG 0168339 NCEI ACCESSION NUMBER 2017-11-15 publication BIOMASS HABITAT HABITAT - BENTHIC PRIMARY PRODUCTIVITY SEDIMENTS - PERCENT COVER WATER DENSITY theme NODC DATA TYPES THESAURUS in situ theme NODC OBSERVATION TYPES THESAURUS Coastal Waters of Alabama Coastal Waters of Florida Coastal Waters of Gulf of America Coastal Waters of Gulf of Mexico Coastal Waters of Louisiana Coastal Waters of Mississippi Coastal Waters of Texas Gulf of America Gulf of Mexico North Atlantic Ocean place NODC SEA AREA NAMES THESAURUS oceanography theme WMO_CategoryCode 2012-09-15 publication EARTH SCIENCE > BIOSPHERE > ECOLOGICAL DYNAMICS > ECOSYSTEM FUNCTIONS > PRIMARY PRODUCTION EARTH SCIENCE > BIOSPHERE > ECOSYSTEMS > MARINE ECOSYSTEMS > BENTHIC EARTH SCIENCE > BIOSPHERE > VEGETATION > BIOMASS EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > MARINE SEDIMENTS EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > SALINITY/DENSITY > DENSITY theme Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords 2026 revision 24 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Greenbelt MD https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords HTTPS GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.
