Shade, Moisture, and Woody Vegetation in Stormwater Management Basins: Influence on Cattail (Typha spp.) Growth
… basin dynamics, making conditions unsuitable for cattails. In a greenhouse study we tested the impact of three shade (heavy, medium, full sun) and soil moisture (dry, moist, flooded) treatments on cattail growth. After two months, cattail biomass indicated a strong interaction between soil …

The Influence of Hydrogeomorphology, Soil Redox Conditions, and Salinity on the Spatial Zoning of Saltgrass, Salt Rush, and Cattails in Scotts Creek Marsh, Swanton Pacific Ranch, CA
… zones comprised of saltgrass, salt rush, cattails. The objectives of the study were (i) to investigate the variables that influence the zoning of the three dominant halophyte communities in SCM and (ii) to the test the effectiveness of Indicator of Reduction in Soil (IRIS) tubes to …

Biotic Responses on Typha-monodominant Semipermanent Wetlands To Cattle Grazing
… conditions. Numerous techniques to control cattails such as burning and herbicide application have been suggested. The objective of this study was to test the use of cattle grazing as a method of controlling dense cattail stands in semi-permanent wetlands to improve breeding duck habitat. …

Pheasant Use of Wetlands During The Winter and Application of Landsat Imagery For Assessing Winter Habitat
… Trees, phragmites (Phragmites communis), and cattails (Typha latifolia) were also used regularly. Smartweeds (Polygonum coccineum), roundstem bulrushes (Scirpus acutus and Scirpus validus), and grasses were seldom used. Density was the most important vegetative factor influencing selection of …

Behavior, Nest Site Selection and Success of Black Terns (Chlidonias niger)
… plants. While <em>Phragmites</em> and invasive cattails can degrade the overall structure of the marsh and limit suitable nesting habitat, European frog-bit and other invasive floating aquatic plant species may pose a greater threat to nest success by reducing the amount of open water at nest …

Movements, Survival, and Sightability of White-Tailed Deer in Southeastern South Dakota
… grass, standing corn, agricultural fields, and cattails. Canopy cover prevented visual observation of deer because most of the canopy consisted of mature eastern red cedar (Juniperous virginiana). These data can be used to improve population models in this region of South Dakota; however, …

Wetland and terrestrial phytoremediation of an end-of-life municipal lagoon using cattail (Typha spp.)
… cattail biomass. Compared to August, harvesting cattails in the wetland in November or April reduced N and P phytoextraction by 63-85%. In the wetland study, nutrient phytoextraction was 6.2% of initial N content and 2.2% of initial P content while the terrestrial-based approach removed 5.8% and …

An Evaluation of Life History Parameters and Management of White-tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) in the Red River Valley of Northeastern North Dakota
… 3 (3.7%) in agricultural fields, and 3 (3.7%) in cattails. Neonates that survived west of Interstate 29 selected for shorter, less dense grass while neonates that survived east of Interstate 29 selected for taller, denser grass for bed sites. This valuable information provides North Dakota Game …

Determining the Mobility of Metals Through Coal Combustion Byproducts in Surface Impoundments by Analyzing Leachate From Modified Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity Tests
… an acidic environment. This might be the reason cattails {Typha spp.) and pines (Pinus spp.) are so numerous within the ash pond's older areas. This large abundance of leachable calcium is due to the large percentage of ash comprised of calcium oxide (CaO), which has a relatively high solubility. …

The Relationship of Wetland Characteristics to Avian Cholera (Pasteurella Multocida) Outbreaks in the Rainwater Basin Area of Nebraska
… vegetation in the study wetlands. Dead stands of cattails (Typha glauca) were the predominant winter emergent vegetation; however, the summer vegetative mapping demonstrated that there was a considerable amount of diversity between study wetlands. Although the amount of idle land separating study …

Factors Affecting Recruitment of Black Crappies in South Dakota Waters
… black crappies selected nest sites with live cattails Typha spp. that were protected from prevailing south winds. In Brant Lake, they selected nest sites with vegetation (usually woody debris) and silt substrate that had warmer water and were protected from wind and waves. It appeared that …

Seasonal Use of Missouri River Reservoir Deltas by Fishes
… (southwestern) portion by macrophytes (e.g., cattails Typha spp.). This area will remain vegetated unless these macrophytes are submerged for an extended period of time and will help secure sediment on the delta. The White River delta will likely continue to expand downriver. Overall, the …
