. Critical trends assessment program : keeping an eye on Illinois habitats. Critial trends assessment program; Habitat conservation. Typical reference A and randomly chosen B wetlands moni- tored by CTAP biologists. Wetlands are vegetated areas where water is at or near the soil's surface for at least a few months of every year, allowing only aquatic or hydrophytic (water-lov- ing) vegetation to grow in them. Wetlands are easily identified year-round by their hydric (very poorly drained) soils. For this report CTAP sampled a type of wetland (marsh) that has water near or above the soil surface

Wetlands are easily identified year-round by their hydric (very poorly drained) soils. For this report CTAP sampled a type of wetland (marsh) that has water near or above the soil surface for most of the year. Marshes are dominated by rushes, sedges, grasses, cattails, and other herbaceous plants. A shows a high-qualit)' marsh with a high diversity of native species. B shows a randomly selected CTAP marsh where invasive narrow-leaf cattail and reed canary grass have invaded and become the dominant plants. 0) a> Q.
