Carpinteria Salt Marsh Reserve

27 Jun, 12 AM - 05 Jul, 08 AM

This visit will comprise two separate days of visiting; one will be on my way up the coast (likely 06/27) and the other will be on my way down (likely 07/05, but possibly earlier). On my way up the coast, I will scout sites for the neighbor removal experiment I proposed. I am intending just to mark areas of the marsh on my GPS and not to leave any markers in the field at this point. I will be looking for plots that are mixed stands of Sarcocornia pacifica and other species. On my way back down the coast, I will collect cuttings of plants to bring back to San Diego and grow in the greenhouse. I will collect S. pacifica and one other species. I have not quite chosen this species yet, as it depends on which species co-occur with S. pacifica all the way along the coast, but it is likely to be Jaumea carnosa, Batis maritima or Frankenia salina, all of which are quite common in southern California and seem to be common in the north as well.
