| Notes | Evaluates restoration process from 1980-88 following dike breaching. Affected acreage is now function as salt marsh, but has not been fully restored to pre-impact condition. Because the marsh's surface elevation was lowered due to diking, hydrology and vegetation are affected. Changes in productivity and species composition continued throughout the study. Color photographs show vegetation changes. |
