This photo was taken in August 2008. What has changed since then? Cattail Marsh The area in front of you has the highest nutrient load of the entire basin. During storms, a large culvert hidden by the trees on the far bank channels water from the UF Cultural Plaza parking lot into the basin. The dominant plants in this area are cattails (Typha domingensis). Cattails are native, but are often considered a nuisance because they can crowd out other native vegetation when excess nutrients are present. However, cattails remove excess nutrients from the water and help improve water quality downstream so that cattails and other nutrient loving plants are less likely to grow in the rest of the basin.
