Vegetation is dependent on the duration of flooding. Due to <br />the nature of Type I wetlands, the DNR did not identify any within the <br />study area. <br /> <br />Inland Fresh Meadows. The soil usually is without standing water <br />during most of the growing season, but is water logged within at least a <br />few inches of its surface. Vegetation includes grasses, sedges, rushes <br />and various broad-leaved plants. <br /> <br />Inland Shallow Fresh Marshes. The soil is usually water logged during <br />the growing season; often it is covered with as much as 6 inches or <br />more of water. Vegetation includes grasses, bulrushes, spikerushes and <br />various other marsh plants such as cattails, arrow- heads and smart <br />weed. <br /> <br />Inland Deep Fresh Marsh. The soil is covered with 3 to 6 feet or more <br />of water during the growing season. Vegetation includes cattails reeds, <br />bulrushes, spikeru~hes and wild rice. <br /> <br />Inland Open Fresh Marsh. Shallow ponds and reservoirs are included <br />in this type.
