Brief description

Saltmarshes and other coastal, salt-affected sites were sampled at 63 sites selected to cover the full range of saltmarsh types from all around the Tasmanian coast and on King and Flinders Islands. Sampling was conducted within each of the three saltmarsh zones. A faunal survey was conducted to measure the distribution of crustaceans and molluscs in relation to flora and soil conditions.

Maintenance and Update Frequency: notPlanned
Statement: At each site the amphipods, isopods, crabs and molluscs were sampled quantitatively in quadrats distributed randomly in the major vegetation zones. Crustaceans and molluscs were collected by hand and excavation (crabs). Since the amphipods in particular included several undescribed species taxa were identified by codes that will be listed as synonyms in future taxonomic publications.

The plant species and their cover in each quadrat were recorded, and soil samples were collected, from which the moisture content, organic content and sodium content of the soil was measured.
