Description
Inland salt marsh is a globally imperiled plant community that is restricted to a small number of occurrences in the northeast U.S. New York has several sites near Syracuse, in varying condition. Using herbarium specimens, Alex compares the historical distribution of halophytes in NY state to the current extent of these rare, though degraded, inland salt marsh sites.
