| Title: | Repeat photography of tidal fresh forest trees along the salinity gradient of the Altamaha River, GA | ||
| Abstract: | We established a transect of 42 stations for repeat photography of tidal fresh forest trees along the salinity gradient of the Altamaha River estuary. Target trees are located approximately every km on both the north and south banks, beginning at km 20 (with 0 at the mouth of the estuary) up to km 41, for a total of 21 km. We used a small boat to travel to each station and take digital photographs of target trees facing the river in Nov 2017, Feb, May, Aug of 2018. In Oct 2018 we extended the transect an additional 5 km downstream so that it now starts at km 16, with 5 more stations on the north bank and 5 on the south bank. All 52 stations were photographed in Oct 2018 and Oct 2019. These photos will be used to distinguish healthy, stressed and dead trees in each image and how they change over time. | ||
