Notes"This document describes the development and technical basis for the hydrogeomorphic (HGM) method for assessing tidal wetlands of the Oregon coast... Drawing from approximately 500 published sources and databases, this document reviews scientific literature on tidal wetland functions, especially as it pertains to the presented HGM method and the Pacific Northwest. Data are summarized on dozens of variables that were measured or estimated in 120 tidal wetlands during summer 2003." (From Summary, p.i.) Includes details about the method and scoring. Has bibliography for all three volumes.
