Report Summary:    Report contains a scientific review of
literature related to certain forested/shrub wetland types which
are found in New Hampshire.  Specifically, the literature review
focuses on Red Maple (Acer rubrum) Swamps, Atlantic White Cedar
(Chamaecyparis thyoides) Swamps, and scrub-shrub swamps.  The goal
of this research was to search for and compile scientific data that
could aid the Wetlands Bureau in developing evaluation criteria for
assessing impacts to the state's forested/scrub-shrub wetlands. 
The results of the literature review are presented in terms of
those wetland functions and values which the State's wetlands
statute and Wetlands Board Administrative Rules recognize as
important.
