Hydrophytic vegetation definition

Hydrophytic vegetation means macrophytic plant life growing in water or on a substrate that is at least periodically deficient in oxygen as a result of excessive water content.
Hydrophytic vegetation means macrophytic plant life growing in water or on a substrate that is at least periodically deficient in oxygen as a result of excessive water content. The presence of hydrophytic vegetation shall be determined following the methods described in the “Federal Manual for Identifying and Delineating Jurisdictional Wetlands.”
Hydrophytic vegetation means a plant growing in:

Examples of Hydrophytic vegetation in a sentence

  • Hydrophytic vegetation is prevalent in an area when the dominant species comprising the plant community or com- munities are typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions.

  • Hydrophytic vegetation is defined herein as the sum total of macrophytic plant life that occurs in areas where the frequency and duration of inundation or soil saturation produce permanently or periodically saturated soils of sufficient duration to exert a controlling influence on the plant species present.


More Definitions of Hydrophytic vegetation

Hydrophytic vegetation means a community of plants where, under normal circumstances, more than 50 percent of the composition of the dominant species from all strata are obligate wetland (OBL), facultative wetland (FACW), and/or facultative (FAC) species; or a frequency analysis of all species within the community yields a prevalence index value of less than 3.0 (where OBL = 1.0, FACW = 2.0, FAC = 3.0, FACU (facultative upland) = 4.0, and UPL (upland species) = 5.0).
Hydrophytic vegetation means macrophytic plant life growing in water or on a substrate that is at least periodically deficient in oxygen as a result of excessive water content. The presence of hydrophytic vegetation shall be determined following the methods described in the approved federal wetland delineation manual and applicable regional supplement Washington State Wetland Identification and Delineation Manual.
Hydrophytic vegetation means those plants cited in "Vascular Plant Species Occurring in Maryland Wetlands" (Dawson, F. et al., 1985) which are described as growing in water or on a substrate that is at least periodically deficient in oxygen as a result of excessive water content (plants typically found in water habitats).
Hydrophytic vegetation means Macrophytic (large enough to be observed by the naked eye) plant life growing in water, soil, or on a substrate that is at least periodically deficient in oxygen as a result of excessive water content.
Hydrophytic vegetation or "hydrophytes" means plants adapted to growing in seasonally or permanently flooded conditions.
Hydrophytic vegetation means macrophytic plant life growing in water or on a substrate that is at
Hydrophytic vegetation means the sum total of macrophytic plant life growing in water or on a substrate that is at least periodically deficient in oxygen as a result of excessive water content. When hydrophytic vegetation comprises a community where indicators of hydric soils and wetland hydrology also occur, the area has wetland vegetation.
