Abstract:This report describes a long-term study to monitor and evaluate the ecosystem recovery of seven wetland restorations in south central Minnesota. The study looks at the impact of planting on wetland restoration success in inland wetlands and develops a methodology to assess wetland restoration success. The study focused on the following questoin: to what extent can revegetation stimulate overall biological recovery in isoltaed restoration sites? Researchers used aspects of ecosystem function and structure to characterize recovery rates in planted and unplanted restores sites relative to one another and to reference wetlands, as well as indices of biotic integrity for plants, invertebrates, birds, and amphibians in addition to other idicators of ecosystem structure, such as soil organic matter and qater chemistry.
