- Observation Carex acuta tussocks differed in area, perimeter, height and roundness.
- Association Highest tussocks occurred in Carex acuta dominated and mixed stands.
- Association Glyceria maxima significantly modified tussock height and shape.
- Association Acorus calamus significantly modified tussock height and shape.
- Observation Calamagrostis canescens affected tussocks least and used them as habitat.
- Association Mixed-stand tussocks were influenced by co-occurring dominant plants.
- Recommendation The authors recommend frequent shallow flooding to maintain marsh microtopography.
