Assessing the Extent and Species Composition of Wet Thicket Habitat Types in Pennsylvania
There is currently little information on the extent of naturally-occurring wet thicket habitat in Pennsylvania and only a coarse classification of palustrine shrublands exist. Understanding the extent and types of wet thicket habitat is an important component of conserving and managing these habitats and in protecting priority wildlife species that utilize them. The overall goal of this study was to gain a better understanding of the species composition and distribution of wet thicket habitat in Pennsylvania.
