Transects typically start at edge of marsh creek and run perpendicular to upland. Lengths of individual transects vary from 15-150 m depending on the shape of the marsh sites and the number of transect line differed for the four sites. Observations made toward the end of the growing season,typically in late August through early October. 0.2m x 1m quadrats were placed down at 5m intervals along transect lines. Percent covers are estimated visually to the closest exact percent.
