p.1 #1 · Marl Prairie, Everglades | |
Had been shooting gators before dawn, and then headed into wide open prairie country in time for sunrise.
This type of Marsh is known as Marl (lime rich mud or mudstone), Prairie. It stretches for miles as do the wetter Everglades prairies, and although this has a bleak appearance it supports many varieties of grass along with a short version of sawgrass.
Also, several types of trees grow in hammocks on elevated areas formed by outcroppings of limestone.
