To examine influence of vegetation types on soil EEAs, we further defined two categories of wetlands with different vegetation types: moss/sedge-dominated non-woody and shrub/tree-dominated woody wetlands. Our results showed that soil EEAs in moss/sedge-dominated wetlands were more susceptible to ...
The western TMAP region, with the highest distribution ofVeredas, is dominated by the Aw climate, a tropical type with two well delimited tropical seasons (dry winter and wet summer), which is widespread in Neotropical savannas (Sarmiento and Monasteiro1975; Beck et al.2005). This climate zone...
An amplified definition of Weaver & Clements (1938), with the explicit citation of woody vegetation, describes hydrophytes as herbaceous and woody plants that grow in water, in soil covered by water, or in soil that is periodically saturated. Riparian vegetation grows on bedload composed of ...

In Montana, the palustrine system includes all wetlands dominated by trees, shrubs, or herbaceous vegetation. Small, shallow ponds and adjacent non-vegetated shore features are also included in the palustrine system [1]. The lacustrine system includes wetlands and deepwater habitats such as lakes,...
Wetlands dominated by flora of the Gramineae and Cyperaceae, such as fens and sedge meadows, have been shown to be fire dependent or fire related in their natural history as well as their community composition and structure. Prescribed burning is therefore a useful and often necessary tool in ma...
Where water is present most of the year, wetlands tend to be dominated by softstemmed herbaceous vegetation and grasses. Where water will be present only for a brief time, and where soil surfaces will dry long enough to allow germination of woody species, brush or trees will be the ...
