An evaluation of a set of field techniques used for direct measurement of wetland sedimentation rates, based on field studies performed at Cumberland Island. Includes background information on Cumberland Island; description of wetland study sites and field methods (field surveys, sedimentation pins, sedimentation table, clay-feldspar horizons, stable rare-earth element (REE) tracer, marsh flumes); assessment of methods; temporal variability in marsh surface elevation; evaluation criteria for monitoring methods; agreement among methods; and conclusions.
