 | | The goosetongue and arrowgrass components (T3) often occur adjacent to tidal guts, and flood frequently (8 times per summer) retaining water for 2-3 hours per inundation; while the alkaligrass component (T4) floods somewhat more frequently (15 times per summer), and retains water longer (2-5 days) (Vince and Snow, 1984), but typically occupies broad, low levees. |
