Methods and protocols used in the collection of this data package

Description:

Samples for biomass measurements were collected along transects in two hayed and two reference sites.  These are the same transects used in LTE-MD-VEGTRANS.xls and LTE-MD-VEGQUADS.xls.  Transects lengths varied from ca. 35-150 meters depending on the shape of the marsh.  Quadrats (either 0.01 or 0.0625 m2) were placed down at 5 m (shorter transects) or 10 m (100+ m transects) intervals along the transect.  Estimates of percent cover by species were recorded, then all plants within the quadrat were clipped at the surface of the sediment.  Plants were then sorted into living and dead aboveground biomass.  Living plants were sorted by species.  Plant material was then dried at 60oC until constant weight (approximately 48 hrs) and then weighed on an electronic balance. 
NOTES AND COMMENTS: Names of observers: RB (Robert Buchsbaum), WD  (Wendy Dalia), ADR (April Ridlon), PB (Peter Britz), CN (Carl Noblett).
The biomass data in this file is expressed in g per m2.  The raw data entered onto original spreadsheet contained the biomass in grams per quadrat, which was either 0.01 or 0.0625 m2 depending on the anticipated density of plants at each site.
The % cover data in this file are based on a rather small quadrat and were collected as a quality control procedure for the biomass samples.  Use LTE-MD-VEGQUADS.xls for vegetation analysis.

Salt marsh that is hayed by Dan McHugh in Rowley and reference areas in the vicinity of Stackyard and Patmos Roads. Four studies sites (two hayed and two references). The two hayed sites are McH1 (hayed every year, north of Patmos Rd) and EPH (east of Perry's land and between Sawyer Creek and Patmos Rd, hayed every two years, last hayed in 1999). The two reference sites are PUH (Perry Unhayed, between Sawyer Creek and Patmos Rd) and Club Creek (south of Stackyard Rd and bounded on its E side by the PRNWR).
