Abstract / Description
Activity Summary
This (revised) project includes two main objectives and six major tasks. Objective 1: Characterize the current quantity and quality of wetlands within the project area. 1) Compile existing spatial data for the study area into GIS. 2) Perform intensive site survey of wetland vegetation, soils, and hydrology. 3) Map extent of wetland occurrence by wetland class. 4) Adapt a suitable wetland rapid assessment method, and assess wetland condition at targeted wetland sites. Objective 2: Describe and quantify wetland hydrological functions that support wetland condition, wetland-associated wildlife habitat, and other ecosystem services. 5) Develop a simple conceptual model that correlates rates of hydrologic function to wetland ecological condition and wildlife habitat quality. 6) Produce Final Report.
