Description

The primary objective of this study was to investigate the premise that invertebrate species diversity and abundance increases significantly following a draw down, burn, and reflood cycle. The general trend of the data support the hypothesis that periodic draw downs coupled with burning are a highly beneficial technique for marsh managment, providing an increase in quality habitat for wetland birds.
