COMPOSITION, STRUCTURE, AND DYNAMICS OF VEGETATION IN FIFTEEN BEAVER-IMPACTED WETLANDS IN WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS

Quantitative investigations of vegetational composition and structure in 15 beaver-impacted wetlands in Franklin and Hampshire Counties, Massachusetts, were conducted between 1980 and 1995. Four wetland types were identified based on species composition. Five distinctive physiographic zones, each wi...

description Quantitative investigations of vegetational composition and structure in 15 beaver-impacted wetlands in Franklin and Hampshire Counties, Massachusetts, were conducted between 1980 and 1995. Four wetland types were identified based on species composition. Five distinctive physiographic zones, each with a characteristic assemblage of plant species, and three successional pathways were observed in the study sites. While soil moisture is clearly a strong influence on plant community structure and composition in beaver-impacted wetlands, hydrological dynamics including frequency, duration, and extent of flooding appear more influential than depth to water table.
