NotesThe metric is encompassed in two documents, this Floodplain Habitat Metric User’s Guide and a Floodplain Habitat Calculator (in Excel). The evaluation procedure is meant for inland wetlands, not for tidal wetlands. “This assessment can be used to evaluate areas that are flooded seasonally by overbank surface water from a non-tidal water body (river, stream, lake, etc.) at least once a century.” (p.10) The metric may be found at https://ir.library.oregonstate.edu/concern/defaults/rn3015245 (Excel file) or a calculator version at https://ir.library.oregonstate.edu/concern/defaults/8336h5830 .
