Example: -1.4 hxhd0.6(0.4/S)First number (Drk Blue) is recorded elevation (Ft. NAVD88).Circled number is Braun-Blanquet score (2).h = Post hole grab with shoalgrasshd = Post hole grab with dead shoalgrass rootsx = Post hole grab with bare substrateThe underlined number (0.6) is the deepestdead root found by measuring the post hole grabFirst number in parenthesis is the soft sediment depth (0.4).Last character in parenthesis represents the material found in the post hole grab (S=sand).Braun-Blanquet-Every other observation point (i.e., 20-m intervals) was visually assessed using a 0.25-meter quadrat and given a Braun-Blanquet score (0-5).-Braun-Blanquet scores are shown in circles on the location of the observation point.
