Community is dominated by the clonal Carex striata var. brevis with small amounts of Cladium, Juncus canadensis and Saccharum giganteum. Zone is flooded at the time of this visit, with anywhere from 0-22 cm of water along the 4 transects. There are a few dense patches of Glyceria obtusa located within this zone. Surrounding pitch pine lowland has been burnt within the past few years.
