Re: Marl Fen at Floyd Bennett Memorial Airport
On Wednesday,Nov. 19,2014 a survey team comprised of Greg Edinger, Tim Post,John
O'Connor and Sharon Tabor surveyed the wetlands located southwest of the south end of the
runway at Floyd Bennett Memorial Airport from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Our survey had the
following goals:
1) Locate previously documented marl fen patches at the site(NYNHP EOID 4358).
2) Collect vegetation composition and structure data(NYNHP Form 1 Observation Points)
from all marl fen patches found to confirm community classification, condition, and
extent.
3) Sample at least one soil core and record texture,color, and pH at each soil horizon as
conditions allow.
4) Remap and update the NY Natural Heritage Program marl fen Element Occurrence
Record based on our survey data.
Findings
We found two patches of marl fen at the site(Figure 1). The first(0.8 acre)is about 150 m SW
of the south end of the paved runway and the second(0.2 acre)is about 475 m S of the runway.
We collected three observation points, GFA01 and GFA02 in the first patch, and GFA03 in the
second (Figure 1).
The marl fen patches stood out from the other wetland communities at the site,because of the
notable low growth habit(15-20 cm)of the dominant plant(avg. 78%cover),variegated
horsetail (Equisetum variegatum)(Photo 1). Other characteristic marl fen plants observed
include yellow sedge(Carex flava) and pendulous bulrush(Scirpus pendulus).Most of the
vegetation had already died back by this late date and plant identification was challenging.
Several species were recorded as"ID uncertain".
The fen patches were flooded with shallow(12-25 cm)water,most of which was frozen at the
surface and easily broken through.We sampled one soil core at GFA01. The soil sample
revealed a shallow peat layer(15 cm)underlain by thick layer of silty clay loam(to 65 cm deep)
grading to pure clay where it became impenetrable at 75 cm deep.The pH of the soil ranged
from 6.9 to 7.4 and is very close the expected pH of 7.5 for marl fens (Edinger et al. 2014). The
air temperature was about 28°F and may have impacted accuracy of pH meter readings.We did
not observe characteristic marl deposits at the surface of the fen at any point. The cold air
temperature may have suppressed marl deposition. Warmer water is reportedly more conducive
www.nynhp.org 625 Broadway,5th Floor Albany,NY 12233-4757 f (518)402-8935
for marl deposition(Vermont Agricultural Experiment Station 1911) and maybe more
productive in the summer. Other wetland types observed at the site include large areas of cattail
marsh,reed canary grass marsh,and dogwood shrub swamp.

Threats
Threats to the fen include alteration to the natural hydrology, such as ditching,draining, and
filling of wetland.Excessive and prolonged flooding caused by beaver or muskrat may be a
threat to the fen. Development activities related to the airport are also a threat. Invasive species,
such as common reed grass (Phragmites australis),buckthorns (Rhamnus spp.), and purple
loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria)are present and may spread into the fen.Native species may
become problematic at this site and should be monitored,such as reed canary grass (Phalaris
arundinacea) and cattails (Typha spp.).
Management Recommendations
Where possible restore/maintain the natural hydrology of the fen.Avoid permanent flooding of
the fen by clearing debris from culverts and removing obsolete, artificial impoundments.
Control/remove invasive plants in and around the fen,such as such as common reed grass,
buckthorns, and purple loosestrife.
Inventory Needs
Releve plots are needed in all marl fen patches during the growing season. The extensive reed
canary marsh and shrub swamp areas to the west need to be surveyed for more patches of marl
fen.No additional patches were found in these areas by looking from the chain link fence west of
the runway on Nov. 19,2014.The wetland between the two existing patches of marl fen needs to
be surveyed at low water stage for additional patches that may have been flooded on Nov. 19,
2014.
Significance of the Marl Fen
The marl fen at Floyd Bennett Memorial Airport is one of five extant occurrences currently
documented in the state(Table 1). One additional occurrence is ranked "F"for"Failed to Find"
after several searches in the presumed historical location.The NY Natural Heritage Program
State Rank(S Rank)for the marl fen community is S1:Typically 5 or fewer occurrences, acres,
or some factor of its ecology making it especially vulnerable in New York State(Edinger et al.
2014).Each occurrence is given a viability rank or EO Rank(A to D).The best example (EO
Facilitating Conservation of New York's Biodiversity
Rank A)is at Bergen Swamp in western New York. The airport occurrence is the most eastern
location and has an EO Rank of CD(fair to poor)based its size, condition,and landscape
context.Most occurrences are on protected public or private conservation lands.

NatureServe maintains the National Vegetation Classification and classifies this community as a
Shrubby-cinquefoil/Needle Beaksedge-Low Nutrush Shrub Herbaceous Vegetation
Association -CEGL006356(NatureServe 2014). This association is equivalent to the NY
Natural Heritage Program marl fen (Edinger et al. 2014).
The NatureServe Global Rank(G Rank)for this marl fen association as G1,because it is known
from only 2-3 localities in New Jersey and 5 in New York, with very few potential additions. It is
restricted to a precise habitat,seepage areas of thick marl deposits on the shores of calcareous
lakes.Total acreage is less than 10 acres,a liberal estimate(NatureServe 2014).
