3.0 Description of Site Reports
For each of the fifty MESIC sites, as well as the Meadowlands-wide category, a site report is presented that contains general site information including: site category; location; current land use; location; size; current ownership (where applicable); and a brief site description. The site reports contain site-specific citations and abstracts of documents cataloged or collected during the data investigation. The citations and abstracts are listed under the appropriate data categories for each of the sites.
The format for the citations is as follows:
#. Author(s). Report Title. Report Publisher or Project Owner (if applicable). Date. [Source #] Abstract.
Certain documents (e.g. EIS’s, base studies) have information pertaining to multiple data categories and/or sites. These reports are repeated under the appropriate categories and/or sites and marked with an “*”. In addition, many citations within the Meadowlands-wide site report are also relevant to the other sites in terms of general baseline information. Each of the fifty sites’ site reports reference the Meadowlands-wide Survey, Maps, and GIS data category as containing relevant information.
