OPP-91HXB4permanent identifier · cite as oceanportfolio.org/p/OPP-91HXB4

Completed (successful/maintained)

Country: USA

Goal

Technique: Planting saltmarsh (seeds, seedlings or sods) To test the hypothesis that reciprocal facilitation may enhance saltmarsh restoration success, interactions between cordgrass transplants and mussels were experimentally manipulated in a 29-month full-factorial field experiment in a southeastern US saltmarsh. Here: without mussels after 13 months Spatial extent 2400 ha as reported. Reported project duration 1,1 year(s). Average survival 25,0% 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.
