Descripción:

Floodplain marshes occur on organic, sandy, or alluvial substrates and are seasonally inundated. They are most common in subtropical settings. Fire is frequent to occasional and helps maintain the open character of these systems.


Typical vegetation includes maidencane ( Panicum hemitomon ), pickerelweed ( Pontederia cordata ), arrowheads ( Sagittaria spp.), buttonbush ( Cephalanthus occidentalis ), and a variety of mixed emergent species.
