In order to meet the definition of hydrophytic or wetland vegetation, the majority (>50%) of the dominant vegetation species on site must be classified as an obligate wetland plant, facultative wetland plant, or a facultative plant (excluding facultative minus).

Wetlands must have 1) ___________, 2) hydric soil, and 3) wetland hydrology.

It is not always necessary to identify hydrophytic vegetation based on plant species alone.

All of the following EXCEPT ____ may be used to contribute to a hydrophytic classification? If the remaining 3 designations make up more than 50% of dominant plant species then a community is considered hydrophytic.
