Hydrophytic Vegetation Indicators:
❑ 1- Rapid Test for Hydrophytic Vegetation
� 2 - Dominance Test is >50%
❑ 3 - Prevalence Index is <3.0�
❑ Problematic Hydrophytic Vegetation1 (Explain)
�Indicators of hydric soil and wetland hydrology must
be present, unless disturbed or problematic.
Definitions of Vegetation Strata:
Tree - Woody plants, excluding vines, 3 in. (7.6 cm) or more in
diameter at breast height (DBH), regardless of height.
Sapling/Shrub - Woody plants, excluding vines, less than 3 in. DBH
and greater than 3.28 ft tall.
Herb - All herbaceous (non-woody) plants, regardless of size, and
woody plants less than 3.28 ft tall.
Woody vine -All woody vines greater than 3.28 ft in height.
