RESEARCH RECORD 1224 Ecological Functions of a Created Freshwater Tidal Wetland
NICHOLAS CAIAZZA A 3.1-acre freshwater tidal wetland was created in 1986 along Rancocas
Creek in Burlington County, New Jersey, to partially compensate for wetland losses associated
with a nearby bridge construction project. An existing upland site was graded to an elevation
that provides for inundation of the created marsh during mean high tide with between 1.0 …

MATERIALS AND METHODS
In an attempt to determine what wetland functions can be confidently attributed to a created wetland (specifically Site 1), NJDOT ecologists performed the following studies during the summers of 1986 through 1988.
