Vegetative Communities for Vegetated Non-Forested Wetlands
640 WETLAND-VEGETATED NON-FORESTED: (Level II)
 "These lands are found in seasonally flooded basins, meadows,
 and marshes. Wetlands are usually confined to relatively level
 areas. When forest crown cover is less than the threshold for
 wetland forest or is non-woody, it will be included in this category.
 Sawgrass, Cattail, and Wet Prairie are predominant communities
 in freshwater marshes, while Spartina and Needlerush are the pre-
 dominant salt marsh communities.
