NotesThis file includes tidal wetland soils data for 14 sampling areas at 5 sites on the Oregon coast. The sites are Blind Slough (tidal swamp) in the lower Columbia River estuary , Coal Creek (tidal swamp) in the Nehalem estuary, Millport Slough (high marsh) and Siletz Keys (low marsh) in the Siletz estuary, and Hidden Creek Marsh (high marsh and low marsh) in the South Slough estuary (Coos Bay). Data is presented for the year 2007 for soil pH, percent organic matter, electrical conductivity, salinity, percent sand, silt and clay and texture class. Soils data for additional tidal wetland sites on the OR coast are intended to be added to this site. These data for 2007 may be updated with additional samples.
