| Emergents are the most studied of hydrophytes and probably the most useful to man. |
| Riparian vegetation consists of emergents but these areas can be inundated occasionally, especially in the spring. |
| The forest canopy is usually between 15-30 m high, but some trees may be as tall as 35 m, although almost no emergents occur. |
| Typical Southern Hemisphere flora include the conifers Podocarpus and the rainforest emergents Araucaria and Agathis, as well as tree ferns and several species of Eucalyptus. |
| As we mentioned in the Carmignac Emergents report, all the emerging countries have been victims of an undiscriminating aversion to risk. |
| Most vegetation occurs as emergents, or hydrophilic species along the river's edge. |
