HomeMy WebLinkAbout20081317 Ver 1_Table 10 Volunteer Woody Vegetation_20160314Table 10. Volunteer woody stems in Hell Swamp vegetation monitoring plots during fifth annual survey in 2014. Success criteria differs for volunteer woody stems between wetland restoration (only non -nuisance species with wetland
status can be counted) and Tar -Pamlico riparian buffer restoration (all woody volunteers stems can be counted). (For general information purposes, the number of wetland non -nuisance tree stems are also shown in the buffer plot
section but all stems are counted in the buffer totals.)
