Characteristics

Habitat Types in Eden Landing Ecological Reserve

17%

Vegetated

83%

Mudflat

Main objectives

  1. 1

    To investigate the impact of algae on carbon fluxes in the mud flats of Mt. Eden Creek Marsh

  2. 2
    To use hyperspectral imagery to help resolve algal biomass and composition across the wetland and combine with ecosystem-scale greenhouse gas fluxes
  3. 3
    To look at historical imagery to determine how changes in algal and plant community across the wetlands influence greenhouse gas exchange over time

Key Opportunities

  • Carbon storage and sequestration,
  • Recreation,
  • Water quality improvement.
