Wetland Plant Communities, Galveston Bay System

摘要

The report is the culmination of a field investigation of wetland plant communities, and is one phase of the project, 'Trends and Status of Wetland and Aquatic Habitats of the Galveston Bay System, Texas,' sponsored by the Galveston Bay National Estuary Program. For purpose of the topical report, wetlands are defined and classified in terms of more classical definitions, for example, salt, brackish, and fresh marshes, in accordance with project requirements. More than 150 sites were examined in the Galveston Bay system.
