| Although variations in relief on the rocky outcrops provide a myriad of microhabitats, habitat preference of these geophytes is dependent upon the mat species. |
| The plant communities of southern Appalachian wetlands include endemics that exist in the unique microhabitats of the region. |
| At Lily Fen, the maritime climate results in a high water table and consequent differentiation of microhabitats. |
