Defining Hydrophytes for Wetland Identification and Delineation

2012

Tiner, Ralph W

The presence of hydrophytic vegetation is an essential ingredient in the definition of wetlands. The National Technical Committee for Wetland Vegetation was, among other things, charged with reviewing the concept of a hydrophyte and constructing a definition that conforms with the use of hydrophytic vegetation for identifying wetlands whether regulated or not. This report reviews the term hydrophyte, presents the proposed definition, and briefly discusses the use of hydrophytes for wetland identification and delineation.
