Crustaceans and molluscs of Tasmanian salty marshes

Saltmarshes and other coastal, salt-affected sites were sampled at 63 sites selected to cover the full range of saltmarsh types from all around the Tasmanian coast and on King and Flinders Islands. Sampling was conducted within each of the three saltmarsh zones. A faunal survey was conducted to measure the distribution of crustaceans and molluscs in relation to flora and soil conditions.

为覆盖塔斯马尼亚沿岸及金岛（King Island）、弗林德斯岛（Flinders Islands）全境各类盐沼（saltmarsh）的完整分布类型，研究人员选取63个采样点，对盐沼及其他沿海盐渍生境开展采样。采样工作覆盖了三个盐沼带的全部分区。本研究同步开展动物区系调查，以探明甲壳类（crustaceans）和软体动物（molluscs）的分布与植物群落及土壤条件之间的关联。
