diverse and productive restorations (Apfelbaum, Eppich, and Solstad under review;
Technical and Science Advisory Committee [TSAC] 2004). This wetland study
was preceded by several years of additional research in more focused topics (TSAC
1998a, 1998b, 1998c, 1998d, 1998e, 1998f, 1998g, 2004).
Through the research we documented strong inverse relationships where wetland

had consistently lower bird, macroinvertebrate, and native plant diversity. Correlated
