Testing the correlation between inundation period and coastal wetland productivity in Carex lyngbyei and Distichlis spicata communities, South Slough National Estuarine Reserve, Oregon

Creator:

Gilman, Eric

Abstract:

I tested the hypothesis that there is a correlation between inundation period and net primary production (NPP) in estuarine salt marshes through an observational experiment at South Slough National Estuarine Reserve, Oregon. I estimated primary production and inundation period for selected monotypic plant communities in (1) a naturally restored wetland...
