Abstract

Marshes and other wetlands in which there is a profuse growth of aquatic plants are common in many parts of the world. Wisconsin contains many thousands of hectares of marsh vegetation, which typically stands from a half meter to several meters above the normal water elevation during the growing season. Water depths range from a few centimeters to several meters.
