Abstract:

Most common in the Coastal Plain, headwater forests develop at the beginning of creeks and streams and are the most numerous of the state's wetlands. While not diverse biologically, they have the greatest effect on water quality of all the wetlands.

Abstract:

Most of the state's bottomland hardwood forests are found in the Coastal Plain along broad river flood plains. Because the forest exists in a flooding environment, the plants and animals there must adapt to the fluctuating water levels or perish.

Abstract:

Considered useless wastelands since the founding of the U.S., wetlands are now being recognized for their critical environmental roles, including flood control and game fish propagation. Without wetlands, a number of species of wildlife would disappear.

Abstract:

Pocosins, a unique wetland occurring only in the Southeastern United States and mostly in North and South Carolina, are a paradox. They are a product of water, but to survive, they need to burn periodically, either naturally or by controlled fire.
