1. The wetlands of the Atchafalaya Delta, Louisiana are characterized by a warm climate, highly fertile sediments, and an absence of moisture limitations. Consequently, vegetation succession (on islands that emerged in 1973) was expected to occur relatively rapidly. 2. From 1980 until 1986, annual surveys of vegetation cover and substrate elevation were conducted on 110 permanent plots along six transect lines crossing four islands. In addition, to evaluate the effect of herbivory (predominantly by Myocastor coypus, nutria or coypu), four 50-m × 40-m exclosures and four control plots were constructed on two of the islands
