Part of this property is coded: Pem1a Freshwater emergent wetland. Cool!!!

About this land:

Freshwater emergent wetlands are ecosystems where water-saturated soils support herbaceous plants that grow above the waters surface. These wetlands are vital for biodiversity, water purification, and flood control.

What Freshwater Emergent Wetland Means

Freshwater: The water is low in salt content, typically from rainfall, surface runoff, or groundwater.

Emergent: Refers to plants like cattails and bulrushes that grow in shallow water or saturated soil, with stems and leaves rising above the surface.

Wetland: A transitional zone between terrestrial and aquatic environments, often flooded or saturated for part of the year.

Key Characteristics

Hydrology: These wetlands are shaped by seasonal flooding or high groundwater levels. Water may be stagnant or slow-moving.

Vegetation: Dominated by grasses, sedges, rushes, and other non-woody plants adapted to wet conditions. Common species include Typha (cattails), Scirpus (bulrushes), and Pontederia (pickerelweed).

Wildlife Habitat: They provide critical breeding and feeding grounds for amphibians, fish, aquatic invertebrates, and birds like herons and ducks.

Ecological Role:

Water filtration: Plants and microbes absorb excess nutrients and trap sediments.

Flood mitigation: Wetlands slow and store floodwaters.

Groundwater recharge: They help replenish aquifers.

In the Cowardin classification system used by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, freshwater emergent wetlands typically fall under the Palustrine category, which includes non-tidal wetlands dominated by trees, shrubs, or emergent vegetation.
