Wetland hydrology
Secondary indicators

oxidized root channels | water stained leaves | local soil survey data | FAC neutral test | others
 
Water stained leaves
Leaves may appear darker due to the anaerobic processes resulting from continued presence of water. Compare leaves to those that occur in an adjacent area that is obviously not affected by inundation.
