This community is not recommended for commercial woodland unless water
 control measures are provided.

5. Urbanland

 This community is subject to high water tables, especially during the
 rainy seasons. This causes limitations for urban development and water
 management systems are required. It is often difficult to establish
 vegetation on steep channel side slopes and infertile soils. Special
 planting and management techniques may be required. Without adequate
 vegetation, erosion and sedimentation is usually a problem. Severe wind
 erosion can also occur, especially in the spring.

 Native plants can be used for beautification and require minimum
 establishment and maintenance. Some of the shrubs are sawplametto and
 waxmyrtle. Some of the herbaceous plants are aster, cone flower, iris,
 marsh pink, and meadowbeauty.

 The most important urban wildlife are songbirds and wading birds.
 Undisturbed areas are important as refuge areas for many forms of
 wildlife.
