Selection with minimal bias, of an experimental control from natural wetland environments. Technical report (Final)

OSTI ID:5482767
The goal of wetland restoration and creation projects is to replicate the native wetland vegetation. The objective evaluation of wetland revegetation, as well as experiments designed to assess the ability of various wetland revegetation methods to replicate the native community, require a representative control site to distinguish between natural variability and that attributable to a treatment. The bias of the investigator often plagues what is intended to be a subjective selection of a control site. This study is designed to census vegetation species compositive of the native community. The study tests the following hypotheses: intentional revegetation as compared to natural colonization will establish a community of vegetation that more closely resembles a native wetland community, and intentional revegetation will establish a community of vegetation more rapidly than natural colonization.
