b. Water level indicators (continued)<br />
Elevated lichen lines. Lichens are an association of a fungus and an alga, and appear as<br />
flattened film on the bark of trees. They are not tolerant of inundation, therefore high standing<br />
water around the trunks of trees impedes their growth, thus producing a distinct line which is<br />
indicative of ordinary or seasonal high water levels. In wetlands that do not have prolonged<br />
inundation, lichens can grow on the trunks at ground level.<br />
Lichen lines on tree trunks, stopping at the high water line. (KCR)
