Figure 6-18: Station II percent cover maps on the sampling date prior and three sampling dates following the 

 October 1998 composite hydrographic event. Shaded areas for each species represent parts of the transect covered 

 by at least 50% of that species. Areas with no shading (white) were not covered by greater than 50% of any one species. 

 During the event, the Rincon Overflow Channel was activated and Station II was inundated with freshwater. Note the 

 increase in Salicornia bigelovii cover and decreases in bare area in the spring (June 1999) following the event.
