The Mayberry Wetland site is a 300-acre restored wetland on Sherman Island, north of Mayberry Slough, that is on the property of Mayberry Farms and managed by the California Department of Water Resources and Ducks Unlimited. During Summer 2010, the site was restored from a pepperweed and annual grassland pasture to a wetland through a project managed by Bryan Brock (bpbrock@water.ca.gov). A flux tower equipped to analyze energy, H2O, CO2, and CH4 fluxes was installed on October 14, 2010. At the time of installation, flooding of the site had only recently begun after extensive reconstruction of the wetland bathymetry conducted during the summer. Although some small patches of tules remain within the site, the site is a patchwork of deep and shallow open water with some remaining vegetation. Currently, there is an intention to flood-to-kill the current pepperweed and upland grasses and let the wetland plants propagate naturally, so no additional plant manipulation will occur.

6 Lidar SI, MB, SB 2007-02-01 Once Sherman Island part of DWR Delta wide 2007 Lidar flight These data are from LIDAR flights of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta conducted during late January and February of 2007. The work was conducted under contract issued by California Department of Water Resources to URS Corporation. All data are registered to UTM Zone 10, NAD83, vertical datum NAVD88. The elevation units in the point files are in meters. The elevations for the ESRI grids are in decimeters (done to allow integer type grids to save file size).

The bare earth grid is of one meter resolution.

The accuracy specifications are as follows:

Vertical accuracy: 95% at 0.6’ (<18.5cm) and 90% at 0.5’ (15cm)
Horizontal accuracy: 1.0’ (30cm), 1 sigma.

Horizontal datum: NAD83 (NSRS2007) Epoch 2017.95, UTM Zone 10N, meters. Vertical datum: NAVD88, GEOID12B, US Survey Feet, Orthometric. Includes classified point cloud, features shape files, bare earth DEM, orthometric imagery (0.3-meter16-bit 4-band RGB-IR tiles in TIFF format with World Files). The entire Delta is covered by 8 points per m2, 0.5m DEM.

Sites were sampled for bulk density, C/N/anions/elements in the soil and porewater, and microbial communities. Soil samples were incubated in the lab to measure greenhouse gas fluxes.
25 Soils SB, BC, EP, EE, BA, SW, MB 2018-08-27 - 2018-08-28 Once Soil cores for C:N and microbial community Soil samples were collected to be analyzed for soil moisture, bulk density, C:N, and microbial community. Generally at each site, two transects were sampled (T1 to the north, T2 south), starting near the tower and going to the west. Each transect had 5 sampling locations each (P1-P5), each location about 5m apart. At wetland locations (SW, MB, EE, EP, WP), soils were collected at 0-15cm depth. At agricultural locations (BA, BC, SB), soils were collected at 3 depths: 0-15cm, 15-30cm, and 30-60cm. For more information, see the field notes from each day.

-Sherman Barn: The water table was around 50-60cm.
-Bouldin Corn: Transects starting from the first corn rows running parallel away from the tower. Dry peat layer around 60 cm.
-Bouldin Alfalfa: Transects starting roughly 5m from the tower. A smaller subsample was taken for microbial analysis.
-East End: Transects starting 5-10m from the tower, going west/southwest through dense veg with the T2P4 and T2P5 taken from veg near the open water section. A smaller subsample was taken for microbial analysis.
-East Pond: Transects starting about 7m from tower to the west (T1) and southwest (T2). (i.e. after the big open pond section by the solar panels). A smaller subsample was taken for microbial analysis. T2P5 was taken from the more uniformly vegetated area to the west. Other samples were mostly from fairly open water areas near clusters of veg.

-Mayberry: Two transects (T1 in veg, T2 near the open water) each going northwest of the tower and took microbial subsamples from each core.
-Sherman Wetland: We took two transects (T1 to the north, T2 south) going west from the tower starting where the water was about 20 cm deep and following the low vegetation.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLsSODVyQ9o - sub_TIDAL is an audiovisual piece created by algorithmically processed gas exchange data collected over four years at a wetland restoration project on Sherman Island in California’s Delta. Formerly grazed pastures, this developing ecosystem provides critical wildlife habitat for resident and migratory species, and can help reduce pressure on levees critical for the safety of California’s drinking water supply. Additionally, the wetland influences greenhouse gas emissions by storing carbon and releasing methane. To help reveal the invisible forces that structure the developing ecosystem, and to highlight the interdependence between human and natural systems, this project uses Max MSP to translate ecosystem parameters visually (by applying color filters controlled by sensor data to time-lapse imagery) and sonically (by creating melodies using sampled instruments controlled by sensor data). This educational project takes a multi-sensory approach to engage new ways of comprehending local climate dynamics in the context of ecological restoration. This restoration project is managed by the California Department of Water Resources and all data was collected by the Baldocchi Lab at UC Berkeley.
