Sturm M. Assateague Island National Seashore, Low Salt Marsh Monitoring, Progress Report, January 2008. Berlin, MD
This report documents results of four long-term monitoring sites established in low salt marsh habitats at ASIS in order to monitor the effects of prolonged exposure to horse grazing. Paired grazed and exclosed treatment areas were established, and the sites were monitored tri-annually from1994 through 2006, a period during which ASIS experienced historically high levels of horse abundance.
