wetland shrub vegetation. The variable water regime documented for the south saline wetland <br /> has resulted in a difficult wetland situation posing problems identifying hydrophytic vegetation <br /> and hydric soils including areas devoid of vegetation. Hydric soil characteristics are represented <br /> by low chroma value of/3 or less with one wet paired data point qualifying as histic epipedon. <br /> Hydric soils for the south Wetland B are highly saline with sparse or no vegetative cover thus <br /> requiring field interpretations based on local wetland knowledge of the region. <br /> Wetland vegetation presence and vigor is positively correlated with permanently flooded <br /> conditions associated with the lentic water regime created by excavating the dugouts. Aquatic <br /> vegetation includes emergent herbaceous species and woody shrubs. Dominant species in the <br /> plant community include saltgrass (Disticlis spicata), cattail (Typha latifolia), arctic rush (Juncus <br /> arcticus), common reed(Phragmites australis),plantain (Plantago lanceolata),tamarisk <br /> (Tamarix chinensis), Russian olive (Elaeagnus angustifolia),narrow-leaf cottonwood (Populus <br /> angustifolia),narrowleaf willow(Salix exigua),rubber rabbitbrush (Ericameria nauseosa), <br /> burningbush(Euonymus alatus), curly dock(Rumex crispus), and burdock(Arctium minus). <br /> SECTION 5.
