Not so bad, there's probably some to count. Relevant because in a way the worst transects were in the dry old ag fields at the last place. About 50 100m transects/ every 10m, that they agreed to monitor eery fall as part of the whole co-op mgmt schtick..
OMG. this is sad/hilarious. I went to see if there was an old photo someone had put on the web………but there's a NEW one. They picked a section for the photo that actually has some veg. Hope they get a degree out of it I guess. https://geo.appstate.edu/Arid%20region%20agricult…

That looks like excellent prickly pear habitat.
Yep. Gonna get lunch. Ice cubes maybe. Will continue the story later.
Meh, never mind. Not worth the telling. They got the place in late 90's and were gonna restore the hell out those fields. Except for some of those widely scattered shrubs, there's still not a native plant in them .
Dope. It would grow there, but it would be terrible.
In the shadier part closer to the stream . Ummmmmmm, perhaps.
Theoretically.
One of our neighbors tried. The opposite side of that pic is pretty dense and maybe 1/2 to 3/4 mile wide til some houses and highway. Fergit how we stumbled on it, but somebody had dug a 3' by 6' circular pit and had shovels and buckets and more buckets with certain exotic plants growing. We didn't snitch, just 'removed them from the system', as we say in exotic species management.
Was doing some aerial surveys in South Jersey years ago & we spotted one. A tiny little marsh island covered with Phrag has a bare circle cut down out of the center – invisible from the water – with a lot of carefully tended non-local weedy items. Pilots immediately christened it "Dope Island".
Average salinity was 30-32 ppt. talk about skunkweed, eech.
‘Why do I smell bad?’
Oh, I miss those days. Spent a lot of time in stagnant ponds and mucky muck. Yeah, mud turtles kinda reek when they're alive.
Heh.

Those squares are triggering for me.
Quadratmares.
I hope she's not counting grains of sand.
No, much worse. Periwinkles.

After a couple days, it starts to look like that.

@zarfytezz1 @AlongsideWild Dead turtles. The odor destroyed my soul.
Beached Loggerhead sea turtle, weeks dead, autopsied behind the dunes in the island's' north end. August.
Chundered Everywhere.
So did the Vet though, and, one by one, everyone else.
Horrific.
I think the worst ever for me was a long dead beached whale. 2nd worst ever was a bloated pig carcass that exploded.
Can't we have both?
