Above: Gardner Marsh in the UW Arboretum, where a Typha x glauca clone encroaches on sedge meadow vegetation
At Mintzita, many forbs increased in cover after the standing vegetation (dominated by Typha domingensis) was removed. Schoenoplectus americanus, co-dominant with Typha, also quickly resprouted after cutting.
At left, plots at Mintzita where all standing vegetation was cut in May 2006. At right, a species-rich control plot in an area naturally burned in spring 2006.
Left: Typha domingensis can reach 5m at the Mintzita in areas that have not burned recently, forming dense monotypic stands
Right: Esteban Aureoles Celsa and Mariela Gómez Romero are collaborating on this work
