	note = {"The purpose of this study was to determine plant species composition, community structure, successional relationships, vegetational development and plant distributions in estuarine salt marshes on the Pacific Coast of Oregon. Quadrant and transect samples of plant presence and cover, collected from April 1971 - June 1974, were subjected to phytosociological analysis and ordination, resulting in the identification of 6 salt marsh vegetation types comprised of 28 communities. The vegetation types include: Low Sand Marshes, Low Silt Marshes, Sedge Marshes, Bulrush and Sedge Marshes, Immature High Marshes and Mature High Marshes. The locations and extent of these types were mapped for 16 major Oregon estuaries." (from the Abstract)   Major Professor: William W. Chilcote},
