SALTEx Cleanup

Our removal of the infrastructure at SALTEx is nearing completion. SALTEX (Seawater Addition Long Term Experiment) was a long-term field experiment initiated by GCE-LTER in 2011 in a Zizaniopsis marsh along the Altamaha River. The experiment was designed to mimic saltwater intrusion caused by droughts and long-term sea level rise.
