The wetlands of Minnesota and Wisconsin are categorized into fifteen plant communities. Each community is described and illustrated by color photographs, along with descriptions and color photographs of a total of 115 representative plant species. The descriptions include taxonomic characteristics, habitat, and notes on wildlife use and economic values.

First published in 1998 as A Great Lakes Wetland Flora, this new (2022) work describes over 900 wetland and aquatic vascular plant species found in Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin. New in this edition are nearly 600 full-color photographs, new county-level distribution maps for each species, and numerous taxonomic revisions. Includes: Keys to each plant family, genus and species Organized into four major groups: Ferns and Fern Allies, Conifers, Dicots, Monocots, then alphabetically by family and genus More than 900 species described Illustrated with hundreds of color photographs and line drawings Conservation status (endangered or threatened) in Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin Wetland indicator status (2018 ratings) Habitat information Fully indexed (both scientific name and common name) for ease-of-use

A classification of wetland plant communities was developed for a study area in north-central Minnesota in order to analyze data on waterfowl use of habitat that were gathered by radio telemetry. The classification employs features of several earlier classifications in additino to new classes for bogs and lakeshore communities. Brief descriptions are given for each community, and the important plant species are listed. Discriminant function analysis was used for 40 plant species. Seventy-five percent of the stands studied were classified correctly by this technique. Average probabilities of assignment to communities were calculated and helped to identify distinct and poorly defined communities as well as the relationship among communities.

First published in 1998 as A Great Lakes Wetland Flora, this new (2019) work has been extensively revised to reflect recent taxonomic changes, and includes many new illustrations, and all-new county-level distribution maps for over 900 wetland and aquatic plant species in 109 plant families. Features: Keys to each vascular plant family, genus and species Organized into four major groups: Ferns and Fern Allies, Conifers, Dicots, Monocots, then alphabetically by family and genus More than 900 species described Illustrated with hundreds of line drawings Conservation status (endangered or threatened) in Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin Wetland indicator status (2016 rankings) Habitat information Fully indexed (both scientific name and common name) for ease-of-use
