Effects of Macrophytes, Phragmites Australis and Typha Angustifolia, on Nitrate Removal in High Nitrogen, Low Doc Agricultural Wetland Sediment

Data management today often consists of data placed into a spreadsheet, and may include plans to migrate the data to a relational database. We describe a more nuanced view of data management for a scientific field station that takes into account the diversity of elements that comprise an information system useful to scientists and to the public. By considering the many kinds of data processes and information elements early in the design of an information system, we can pay attention to alignment with existing practices, and to developing an organization that is science-driven. Establishing an integrative information approach in concert with scientific activities ensures development efforts that emphasize local participation, continuing design, and sustainable growth.
