Thus, non-wetland plants are less tolerant to waterlogging than wetland plants, such as rice.
In restored sites, diversity increases were often due to the presence of non-wetland dependent species.
The lower reaches of many of these watersheds consist of headwater riparian wetlands situated between sloping non-wetland upland zones.
We evaluated the wetland, adjacent non-wetland, and landscape physical parameters role in determining low prairie (sub-irrigated) species composition.
In addition, aerenchyma formation is less extensive in non-wetland plant species than in wetland plant species (Armstrong 1979; Colmer and Voesenek 2009).
Qualitative assessment of the site showed presence of wetland and non-wetland vegetation, small animals, and some potential for cultural benefit.
Wetland conversion was identified by areas where the pre-settlement wetlands overlap with non-wetland areas in the modern day (2011 CE) land use map (Additional file 1: Figure S1).
From this, we concluded that modifying TWI, curvature, and DTW provides more robust wetland and non-wetland signatures to the models by improving accuracy rates compared to classifications using the original indices.
By contrast, in non-wetland plant species such as maize, wheat, and barley, root lysigenous aerenchyma does not form under well-drained soil conditions, but it may be induced by poor aeration (McDonald et al. 2001; McPherson 1939; Trought and Drew 1980).
The model resulted in significant improvement in average wetland accuracy compared to the commonly used National Wetland Inventory (84.9% vs. 32.1%), at the expense of a moderately lower average non-wetland accuracy (85.6% vs. 98.0%) and average overall accuracy (85.6% vs. 92.0%).
Unique LUE values were also used for high latitude wetlands, which proved to be substantially reduced from non-wetlands and reduced the maximum LUE value based on values of low mean annual temperature [49].
