Hydrology affects plant communities and limits tree encroachment and survival in many ways. In low-lying landscapes prone to seasonal flooding, a good way to assess the effects of hydrology is through consideration of hydroperiod, which ... is the period of time during a year that a site is inundated. Hydroperiod is usually expressed as a range because of interannual variability in precipitation.
