Abstract: 

Plant species percent cover in quadrats along vegetation transects at the Argilla Rd. salt marsh restoration site (Ipswich) and Rough Meadows reference marsh (Rowley – Stackyard Road area), Massachusetts.
A long term study not directly part of the PIE LTER, but a companion study related to tidal restrictions and hydrological alterations of salt marshes in the Plum  Island ecosystem.

Methodology

Methods: 

Plant species percent cover  were measured using 0.2 x 1m quadrats placed down at 5m  intervals along transect lines typically starting at edge of marsh creek and running  perpendicular to upland.  Percent covers are estimated visually.
