Observation Narrative
Plot located in graminoid fen between 16 and 21 m along transect. This graminoid wetland zone extends from 6 to 30 m (where Eriocaulon decangulare drops out) and is thus 24 m wide. The presence of standing water, ca. 3 cm deep, throughout this area helps explain the presence of hydrophytes such as Nymphaea odorata. From 30 to 38 m there exists a vegetation zone dominated by Eleocharis halophila.
