CRMS Vegetation Analytical Team Framework: Methods for Collection, Development, and Use of Vegetation Response Variables Kari F. Cretini1, Jenneke M. Visser2, Ken W. Krauss3, and Gregory D. Steyer1 1U.S. Geological Survey, National Wetlands Research Center, Coastal Restoration Field Station, Baton Rouge, LA 70803 2Department of Renewable Resources and Institute for Coastal Ecology and Engineering, University of Louisiana Lafayette, Lafayette, LA 70506 3U.S. Geological Survey, National Wetlands Research Center, Lafayette, LA 70506 September 2009 Introduction In 2003 the Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS), a network of 392 monitoring sites along the coast of Louisiana, was implemented under the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act (CWPPRA; Steyer and others, 2003, 2006). The CRMS monitoring sites characterize the Louisiana coastal wetland landscape as they are located within all marsh types (fig. 1). The CRMS network also represents the coastal Louisiana restoration project area as sites are located inside and outside of other CWPPRA projects (fig. 1). Sites located outside projects are used as references for project effectiveness to be assessed against. Comparisons at other spatial scales including marsh type and hydrologic basin are also possible through CRMS (Steyer and others, 2003, 2006). To assess performance of restoration projects associated with CRMS it is important that we use existing knowledge to establish appropriate restoration targets (that is, goals). The existing knowledge includes descriptions of community and plant responses from published literature and the extensive dataset maintained by the CRMS analysis teams and their collaborators. These sources can help us define how a wetland community type is expected to respond to natural variations in major environmental drivers and help us develop a suite of indices to assess wetland condition. Individual indices for vegetation, hydrology and
