Project Description:
This multi-year cooperative agreement will study productivity of endemic wetland plants, with the goal of identifying specific environmental conditions for maximum growth of a number of varieties (i.e., cultivars) within four plant species. The information obtained will facilitate matching plant species and varieties to expected environmental conditions at restoration sites, thereby increasing the likelihood of successful revegetation efforts.
