Abstract
Wave energy resuspended a minimum of 18 and a maximum of 511 metric tons of sediment per ha each month in exposed Great Salt Lake mud flats. Sediment traps also captured seeds that were removed from the seed bank when sediments were resuspended. Wave break exclosures were used to compare survival of alkali bulrush buds planted on protected sites with those planted on exposed sites. Protected buds had approximately twice the survival rate as exposed buds.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
