Abstract
Researches changes in vegetation cover and biomass in response to burning. One year after burning, species composition and cover were similar to values before burning. The ratio of live to dead biomass increased in response to burning in marshes dominated by both Juncus roemerianus scheele and Spartina bakeri.Suggested Citation
