Goal
Technique: Planting saltmarsh (seeds, seedlings or sods) A manipulative field experiment was conducted to determine how patch size and environmental stress (induced by inundation time) affect the following: (1) the survival, growth, expansion rate, and sediment retention of S. alterniflora. Here: large patches after 5 months Spatial extent 1000 ha as reported. Reported project duration 0,4 year(s). Average survival 86,0% 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.
