The use of domestic animal grazing to manage temperate salt-marsh ecosystems is still debated and requires further field investigations. The effects of sheep grazing on plant community were studied in the salt-marshes of the Bay of Somme (France). We compared vegetation characteristics between two sets of grazed and ungrazed 1m2-plots. We tested for differences in species composition using pair-wise Multi-Response Permutation Procedures (MRPP), used an Indicator Species Analysis (ISA) to distinguish species indicator of grazed and ungrazed areas and described community structures with species rank-abundance curves. Differences in species richness and plant height and biovolume were tested using Mann-Whitney tests. MRPP showed that plant c...
