Macdonald, K B; Winfield, T P

This report summarizes the final results of the Emergent Plant Primary Production Work Unit of the Columbia River Estuary Data Development Program (CREDDP). The report describes the species composition, standing crop, and production dynamics of the extensive areas of tidal marsh vegetation that fringe the shores of the Columbia River Estuary and form many of its islands. The role of marsh production is discussed within a conceptual framework of the entire estuarine ecosystem.
