Completed (successful/maintained)

Country: USA

Goal

Technique: Construction, planting saltmarsh One shore of the marsh plain (10 x 100 m) was excavated by bulldozer to ca. 75–120 cm National Geodetic Vertical Datum from disturbed upland. During spring 1997, a randomized block experiment was set up with 87 plots (2 x 2 m) distributed ca. 70 cm apart among five blocks. The site was planted during spring 1997. The planting density was 90 plants per plot on a 20-cm grid. Seedlings of all species present in all plot Spatial extent 4 ha as reported. Reported project duration 3,5 year(s). Average survival 22,4% as reported.

A variable shows "pending" instead of a contribution when no domain area has been set for it yet — the share of the world a project touched cannot be computed without one. The health percentages are accurate regardless.
