Finally, a summary table of percent changes in wetland areas at 5-year intervals is printed 

 (Table 4-C-l). Types of wetlands are not differentiated in the summary because the model should 

 not be used to interpret detailed changes between freshwater and saltwater types (see 

 Assumptions). In this example only 1% of the original wetiands remains by the year 2085, with 

 most of the loss occurring between 2055 and 2060. The lack of lowland areas precludes new 

 wetlands, and thus the column showing hectares gained is uniformly 0; however, in other areas 

 this column would help indicate possible wetiand migration, which could then be accepted or 

 discounted in the interpretation of the results.
