Determining an Appropriate Organic Matter Loading Rate for a Created Coastal Plain Forested Wetland

Past research indicates that created non-tidal wetlands in the mid-Atlantic region are considerably lower in soil organic matter than native forested hydric soils. However, optimal loading rates for created wetland soil reconstruction have not been rigorously established. Our objective was to dete...
