The ecology of delta marshes of coastal Louisiana : a community profile
Abstract
Abstract : This document reviews and synthesizes ecological information and data on the extensive marshes of the Mississippi River Deltaic Plain. Over the past 6,000 years the river has built a delta onto the Continental Shelf of the Gulf of Mexico. This low land is primarily marshes and represents about 227 of the total coastal wetland area of the 48 conterminous United States. The delta is notable for its high primary productivity, its valuable fishery and fur industry, and the recreational fishing and hunting it supports.

“Louisiana, by contrast, has ample coastal wetlands that help to buffer coastal populations from storm surge events, with the current status of the wetlands being related to the geomorphic framework of channel belts and flood basins driven by the delta cycle (Gosselink 1984, Day et al. 2007).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
