Landscape Narrative ? The typical Carex stricta community surrounds this one and there is a very deep water occurrence of Sparganium. I'm unsure of whether to include it in this plot.;This is a medium sized portion of this type. Currently there is a lack of rain and the water table has dropped. Standing water was estimated for normal conditions. There are hummocks which support Carex stricta and one area which is a pond of water.
