TextPublication details: 1987. The Pas, MB :Description: 2 v. (various pagings) : maps ; 28 cmOnline resources: Abstract: One first-year drawdown and four second-year drawdowns were monitored in the Summerberry Marsh Complex throughout the summer of 1986. Results indicate that the amount of substrate drying and the duration of substrate exposure are important variables in governing the establishment of sedges (Carex spp.) and emergent species diversity in drawdown basins. Emergent diversity was highest where substrate exposure was of great duration, coupled with good soil moisture. Diversity was reduced either where substrate exposure was short-lived or where it was prolonged and allowed to become excessively dry. A discussion on the results is included and management recommendations are made.
