Due to the difficulty of deploying sophisticated sensors in wetlands, however, these data have been collected from relatively few locations around the planet. Nevertheless, they are are needed to improve global climate models.

Dr. Karina Schäfer, Assistant Professor of Ecosystem Ecology at Rutgers University, is working vigorously to collect these data. One of her sites is a brackish wetland situated in the Meadowlands…
