SFCN SET Monitoring Standard Operating Procedure SET03: Mangrove Rod Surface Elevation Table (RSET) Benchmark Installation—Version 1.00
Kevin WR and Prats MC. 2016. SFCN SET Monitoring Standard Operating Procedure SET03: Mangrove Rod Surface Elevation Table (RSET) Benchmark Installation—Version 1.00. National Park Service
The following standard operating procedure (SOP) outlines the process of installing the rod surface elevation table (RSET) benchmark at South Florida / Caribbean Network mangrove soil elevation monitoring sites. The RSET method is a non-destructive process that precisely measures changes in ground surface elevation over time relative to a fixed datum. These procedures follow the Southeast Coast Network (SECN) SOP Salt Marsh Community Rod-Surface Elevation Table (RSET) Installation (Asper and Curtis 2012), which draws heavily on the Louisiana Department of Natural Resources coastal restoration protocol (Folse and West 2004).
