Abstract
Vegetation has been shown to be a sensitive measure of anthropogenic impacts to wetland ecosystems. As such it can serve as a means to evaluate best management practices, assess restoration and mitigation projects, prioritize wet land related resource management decisions, and establish aquatic life use standards for wetlands. The basic steps necessary for developing a vegetation based wetland biological assessment and monitoring program are relatively straightforward, but their simplicity belies their effectiveness. By building upon such monitoring tools, we will be able to more fully incorporate wetlands into water quality assessment programs.
