Completed (successful/maintained)

Country: USA

Goal

Technique: Planting saltmarsh (seeds, seedlings or sods) The survivorship of Spartina patens at a restoration site previously dominated by the exotic/invasive Casuarina sp. is documented here. Three plots, each containing 100 S. patens, were established in varying soil pH, with each plot covering the recommended elevation range. Plants for experiment were previously grown in horticulture. Here: S. patens was transplanted to a plot with high pH soil (8.50). Spatial extent 36 ha as reported. Reported project duration 0,1 year(s). Average survival 64,0% 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.
