Native Forest Restoration in West Maui and the Wahikuli Watershed: Sediment Accumulation and Native Plant Health from 2017-02-08 to 2021-08-02 (NCEI Accession 0241591)
Coral Reef Alliance (CORAL) monitored the effectiveness of a native forest restoration project in the Wahikuli watershed using sediment accumulation measurements, native plant health, and percent cover surveys. Rainfall at the site of restoration was also monitored with a McCrometer Minimet Weather Station to analyze the relationship between sediment accumulation, native plant health, and rainfall. Native plants, vetiver, and coconut coirs were installed horizontally to an old degraded dirt road parallel to the Wahikuli stream gulch to function as Best Management Practices (BMPs). Sediment posts (2ft PVC pipes) were installed behind random BMP rows and measurements were taken every 6 months to determine sediment accumulation. These measurements were converted to tons in the “Sediment Accumulation Calc." Native plant health was also surveyed every 6 months. Asterisks mark where no data was collected, or the field is not applicable. Rainfall data was downloaded monthly. Surveys were conducted by CORAL employees and volunteers. Further information on all data labels can be found in the data dictionary.
