Tidal Freshwater Marsh Establishment on Dredge Spoils in the Columbia River Estuary
Abstract
A study of marsh establishment through seeding and transplanting of tufted hairgrass [Deschampsia cespitosa (L.) Beauv.] and slough sedge (Carex obnupta Bailey) on sandy dredge material in an intertidal location in the Columbia River Estuary is reported. The experiment included treatments with single and split applications of a mixed N, P, and K fertilizer. Survival and growth of plants and N, P, and K concentrations in plant tissues are presented.
