We estimated the oxygen metabolism of six ponds in three regions of the PIE-LTER marshes during summer 2016. The goal was to assess whether pond metaoblism rates varied predictably with pond dimensions (e.g., surface area, volume) or geographic attributes (e.g., elevation, distance from upland, marsh region). Sensors recording dissolved oxygen (DO), temperature, and salinity were deployed at mid-depth and rotated between the six ponds through the June - August study period. Metaoblism rates were calcluated based on a free-water diel oxygen approach.
