| Title: | Fall 2024 grasshopper monitoring -- mid-marsh grasshopper abundance and species diversity at eight GCE LTER sampling sites | ||
| Abstract: | Grasshopper abundance and species diversity were investigated at eight sites within the Georgia Coastal Ecosystems (GCE) LTER study area in August 2024. Visual surveys were conducted along eight 2m by 10m transects randomly located within the mid-marsh zone at each site. All grasshoppers observed within each transect were counted and identified to species, if possible. This survey is conducted annually to assess spatial patterns of grasshopper abundance and long-term changes in relative species abundances across the GCE study area. In 2024, only 3 sites were sampled due to time and weather constraints. | ||
