Sherman Island Wetland

This restored wetland is at the site where the Sherman Island pasture was located. It has ac power so we have been able to collaborate with Patty Oikawa and measure 13CO2 concentrations. It operated beween 2016 and 2021.

It was a heterogeneous site and was slow to fill in naturally with vegetation.  In 2021 we moved the set of sensors to Dutch Slough

The site proved to be an interesting site to test flux footprint models to detect hot spots
