Title:
|
Annual monitoring of high marsh plots dominated by Juncus and Borrichia at the GCE LTER from 2013 - 2024
|
Abstract:
|
Annual monitoring of high marsh plots dominated by Juncus and Borrichia. Plots were established at GCE sites 6 and 10 in 2013, and are monitored annually. The goal is to determine how annual variation in climate and other abiotic factors affects the vegetation composition.
