Objective:
This is one of the projects conducted by this Estuarine and Great Lakes Program (EaGLe) Center. The objectives of this research project are to: (1) identify vegetative indicators of condition of Great Lakes coastal wetlands that can be measured at a variety of scales; (2) develop relationships between environmental stressors and those vegetative indicators; and (3) make recommendations about the utility and reliability of vegetative indicators to guide managers toward long-term sustainable development.
