Eight distinct community types were identified using two-way indicator species analysis classification (TWINSPAN). These were interpreted as a primary successional sequence. The eight communities were found to conform closely to the classical marsh zonations based on elevation and tidal influence: (1) lower salt marsh, (2) middle salt marsh, (3) upper salt marsh, (4) saline meadow, (5) freshwater meadow, and (6) freshwater fen. 1, record 1, English, - lower%20salt%20marsh

En utilisant la classification par division dichotomique des espèces indicatrices (TWINSPAN), [les chercheurs] ont identifié huit communautés types. Ces dernières ont été perçues comme appartenant à une même chronoséquence primaire. La distribution des huit communautés a été considérée comme très proche de la zonation classique des marais. Elle comprenait, en fonction de l'altitude et de l'influence des marées : (1) le marais salé inférieur, (2) le marais salé moyen, (3) le marais salé supérieur, (4) la prairie salée, (5) la prairie d'eau douce et (6) le fen d'eau douce. 1, record 1, French, - marais%20sal%C3%A9%20inf%C3%A9rieur
