| Notes | Plants in wetlands tend to be distributed according to the elevation of the land. When reconstructing wetlands it is therefore a good idea to introduce a gradient, where different elevations will encourage different plants to grow. Thus, wetland restoration efforts today include the building of mounds. In this paper, the authors report on a study of 15 mounds at five sites in the Pacific Northwest. Two of the studied mounds are in wetlands at Drift Creek. Includes recommendations for future wetland restoration projects. |
