This book was released on 1978 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A field study to test the feasibility and impact of developing a marsh on dredged material was initiated in 1975 at Buttermilk Sound near the mouth of the Altamaha River, Glynn County, Ga. The 2-ha island, in the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, is an area of dredged material disposal for maintenance dredging of the waterway. This report presents results of habitat development activities between spring 1975 and fall 1977. The site was graded to a 3.7% slope and partitioned into three elevation zones which were subjected to tidal inundation less than 6 hours each day, 6 to 18 hours each day, and more than 18 hours each day, respectively. Each zone was treated with a combination of experimental plantings including seven marsh plant species, two forms of propagule, and five patterns of fertilizer application. The plants were monitored for their response to fertilizer and inundation levels. Within the plots, interstitial water chemistry, soil chemistry, soil microbiology, and invading plant species were monitored. Aquatic biota and wildlife observations were made. Also included are Appendices B-I which include: Graphic Representation of Buttermilk Sound Dependent Variables; Graphic Representation of Root to Shoot Ratios and Integrated Biomass; Correlation Matrix for Buttermilk Sound for Dependent Variables; and Spartina alternifloria Transplantation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Habitat development using dredged material offers an alternative dredged material disposal method that is often feasible from biological, engineering, and economic standpoints. Careful use of this alternative could significantly increase the extent of wetland and wildlife resources in many parts of the United States. Four general habitats are suitable for establishment on dredged material: marsh, upland, island, and aquatic. Marsh establishment has received more attention than any other habitat development alternative, and techniques have been developed to enable careful planning, design, and propagation of these habitats. Terrestrial habitat development is primarily the application of established wildlife management and soil reclamation procedures at a particular disposal area. The feasibility of both the marsh and terrestrial habitat development alternatives has been documented in numerous field and laboratory studies. Island habitat development uses a standard technique to dispose of dredged material and create exceptionally important wildlife habitat. This is often a viable alternative that can be greatly improved by management techniques. The development of aquatic habitats, such as seagrass meadows and oyster flats, on dredged material appears to offer significant potential for the creation of highly productive biological communities and at the same time provide for large disposal quantities; however, aquatic habitat development is largely untested in the field.
