  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span id="_mce_caret" data-mce-bogus="1" data-mce-type="format-caret"&gt;&lt;span&gt;We examined the effects of irrigation on 4 moist-soil plants commonly managed for waterfowl in the Sacramento Valley, California. Irrigation resulted in taller and heavier swamp timothy (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Heleochloa schoenoides&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;), pricklegrass (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Crypsis niliaca&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;), and sprangletop (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Leptochloa fasicularis&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;). Barnyardgrass (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Echinochloa crusgalli&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;) grew taller in irrigated wetlands, but no significant difference in weight was detected. Only sprangletop yielded larger seed masses in response to irrigation. Without irrigation, swamp timothy and pricklegrass assumed a typical prostrate growth form, but with irrigation, they assumed a vertical growth form. Irrigation did not significantly affect plant density. Because of rising water costs, wetland managers should consider wildlife management objectives and plant responses before implementing irrigation practices.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
