TABLE 4.8

Results of a posteriori ANOVA paired contrasts comparing grass shrimp abundance between topographic levels at each of four marsh sites. BDC = Beaver Dam Creek; EB = Eagle Bottom Marsh; PC = Phillips Creek; HAM = Hammocks Marsh; MUI = marsh-upland interface; HM = high marsh; LM = low marsh; CBK = creekbank.

*Significant at [[proportional]] = 0.05.
