A Floristic Inventory of Sedge Point, Douglas Lake, MI

Abstract

This inventory surveys the vascular flora of Sedge Point, Douglas Lake, Michigan. The site was split into five survey areas: the wetlands/beach pools, the river, Gate’s Bog, the uplands, and sites from the former Camp Knight. The study also analyzed historical photographs and herbarium specimens and used them to compare data to contemporary observations. Through this comparison, we developed a historical basis for landscape level changes over the past century. Our findings reflect great variation throughout the Sedge Point site. The wetlands exhibited a very diverse species set, while Gate’s Bog had significantly lower species diversity, but had many bog specialist species. The upland forests throughout the site support a mix of native species and riparian vegetation bringing more unique species to the site. Camp Knight’s disturbed sites have allowed invasive grass to become dominant, hindering succession in these ecosystems.
