Abstract:

Vegetation of assessed restored, enhanced, and created wetlands and reference wetlands
Separate MS Excel Spreadsheet Available Upon Request <br>

Based on analysis of plot data, vegetation succession in restored, enhanced, and created wetlands was not predictable. This indicated the presence of multiple successional trajectories for the same ecological habitat, depending on watershed and local factors. Plant species composition was highly variable, with a relatively low percentage of species shared between restored, enhanced, and created wetlands and reference wetlands, regardless of watershed group. The spreadsheet in Appendix 2 summarizes all vegetation plot data. As expected, variability was also relatively high between the same ecological habitats in different watershed ecological groups. Across all plots there were 760 unique plant taxa documented, of which 353 were recorded in restored, enhanced, and created wetland plots and 662 in reference wetlands.
