PREDEX sampling ongoing

We published results from PREDEX after three or four years, but have continued to sample the experiment, just to see if anything changes. We see a lot of year to year variability in invertebrate densities, but so far have not seen any big changes that developed in the later years of the experiment. We were thinking, for example, that slow to recruit and long-lived species like Geukensia mussels might start to show changes several years into the experiment. But so far nothing dramatic has happened.
