4.1.3:2 Type 2: Wet Meadow, Fresh Wet Meadow, Wet to Wet-Mesic Prairie, Sedge
<br /> Meadow, and Calcareous Fen
<br /> Soil is usually without standing water during most of the growing season but is waterlogged within at
<br /> least a few inches of the surface. Meadows may fill shallow basins, sloughs, or farmland sags, or
<br /> these meadows may border shallow marshes on the landward side. Vegetation includes grasses; .
<br /> sedges,rushes and various broad-leaved plants. In the North, representative plants are Carex,rushes,
<br /> redtop, reedgrasses,manna grasses, prairie cordgrass, and mints. Other wetland plant community
<br /> types include low prairies,'sedge meadows, and calcareous fens.
<br /> 4.1.3.3 Type 3: Shaliow Marsh �
<br /> Soil is usually„waterlogged early durino the growing season and may often be covered with as much '
<br /> as 6 inches or more of water. These marshes may nearly fill shallow lake basins or sloughs, or may
<br /> border deep marshes on the landward side. These are common as seep areas on irrigated lands.
<br /> Vegetation includes grasses, bulrushes, spikerushes, and various other marsh,plants such$s cattails,
<br /> arrowliead, pickerelweed, and smartweeds. Common representatives in the��North a're reed,whitetop,
<br /> rice cutgrass, Carex, and�giarit burreed.
<br /> 4.1.3:4 Type 4: Deep Marsh �
<br /> _ Soil is usually covered with 6 inches to 3 feet or more of water during the growing season. These •
<br /> deep marshes may completely fill shallow lake basins,potholes, limestone sinks and sloughs, or they
<br /> may border open water in such depressions. Vegetation includes cattails,reeds,bulrushes,
<br /> spikerushes and wild rice. In open areas,pondweeds,naiads, coontail, watermilfoils, waterweeds,
<br /> duckweed, water liIies, or spatterdocks may occur. .
<br /> 4.1.3.5 Type 5: Shallow Open Water
<br /> Shallow ponds and reservoirs are included in this type. Water is usually less than 10 feet deep and is
<br /> fringed by a border of emergent vegetation similar to open areas of Type 4. Vegetation (mainly at
<br /> water depths less than 6 feet), includes pondweeds,naiads, wild celery, coontail, watermilfoils,
<br /> muskgrass, waterlilies, and spatterdocks.
