Broad-leafed Plants
Broad-leafed plants are an important component of the freshwater slough
and provide shade in this harsh environment.
Sagittaria lancifolia is a broad-leafed marsh plant found in
many marshes of the United States and shown here in the Shark River
Slough.
This plant provides nutrition for grazers and protection for small
fish and insects in the water column.
Scientists study the how nutrients in the water column of the marsh
affect growth of this plant.
