Abstract

Unique wet prairie/prairie fen remnants contain an assemblage of species seldom seen in Virginia and neighboring states, making it of great importance to the biodiversity of the Mid-Atlantic region of the US. These habitats contain species found in mesic prairies of the Midwest and include several rare species. These habitats were historically burned and periodically grazed by bison, now long absent in Virginia. An example of a wet prairie/prairie fen is described. Such habitats are now rare and in need of protection and restoration by periodic burning and short duration grazing.
