Distribution and Biomass of intertidal vascular plants on the Squamish Delta
Study of the plant community is necessary to understand
most ecosystems and their component food webs. Data on vascular plants of marsh deltas is of particular interest, since decomposing marsh plants may supply detritus which can be used as food by invertebrates such as amphipods and isopods (Keefe, 1972; Levings, 1973). In some B.C. deltas these invertebrates are consumed by juvenile salmonids(Parker and Kask, 1973; Goodman and Vroom, 1973). The plants also provide a direct food source for waterfowl,seed-eating birds, and herbivorous animals.
This repoit describes a survey of the vascular plants of the Squamish River delta. Vegetation maps, species lists, and biomass data are presented, but due to time limitations only the basic characteristics of the complex tidal marsh vegetation were studied.
