- Abstract
Presents data on a fast, non-destructive method for measuring aboveground biomass of Spartina alterniflora and Phragmites australis in salt marshes that uses only the average height of the five tallest shoots and the total density of shoots over 10 centimeter tall. Data suggesting calculated values for biomass compare favorably with destructive measurements on harvested samples.
