5. Urbanland

 This community is subject to periodic flooding and has severe limitations
 for urban development. Elaborate water management systems which include
 diking are required for urban uses. It is often difficult to establish
 vegetation on steep channel side slopes and infertile spoil. Special
 techniques such as mulching, special plants and unusual seeding and
 management techniques may be required. Without vegetation, erosion and
 sedimentation are a problem in some water management systems. Intensive
 measures may also be necessary to maintain design capacity.

 Native plants can be used for beautification and require minimum
 establishment and maintenance. Some of the trees are American holly,
 Atlantic white cedar, southern bald cypress, cabbage palm, dahoon holly,
 dogwood, elm, fringetree, hickory, loblolly bay, red bud, redcedar, red
 maple, sweetgum, oaks, and willow. Some of the shrubs are American
 beautyberry, buttonbush, elderberry, sawpalmetto, shining sumac,
 strawberry bush, swamp privet, and waxmyrtle.

 The most important urban wildlife are waterfowl and water adapted
 reptiles and mammals. Undisturbed areas provide good escape cover and
 travel routes for all forms of wildlife.
