An ecological study of the vegetation of an inland saline area

Claude Joseph Shirk, University of Nebraska - Lincoln

Abstract

Interest in the vegetation of saline areas about Lincoln, Nebraska, was aroused by the apparently dis- tinct and definite arrangement of the plant communities. When this study was started in 1917, little work had been done in America on halophytic vegetation (Kearney and others, 1914; Shantz, 19 16; MacDougal, 1914), although investigations had been carried on in England and else- where upon salt marsh vegetation of the sea coasts (Hill, 1908; Drabble and Hill, 1905; Drabble and Drabble, 1907; Delf, 1911-1912; Halklett, 1911-'13-'15) for some time.
