Abstract
In a low elevation marsh community, biotic disturbance significantly reduced total vegetative cover and biomass, while species diversity was not affected. In higher elevation communities, natural levels of disturbance did not affect species richness, biomass or total cover, and had little effect on species diversity.Suggested Citation
