Throughout the experiment, they measured the effects of each species mix on three important salt marsh functions:
overall grass growth (productivity); the rate of dead plant removal (decomposition); and how fast tidal or storm surge water percolated through the marsh (filtration).
Additionally, when these cakes are made with pastured,
grass - fed milk and eggs, they provide a higher amount of omega 3 fatty acids (beyond those provided by the flax seeds), which are essential to
overall good health for moms and babies and are necessary for optimum infant brain
growth; omega - 3s are difficult to find in the typical conventionally - farmed American diet.
