Quadrats of one square meter were sampled across the five communities of Golatappar swamp in winter and summer seasons. The data was analyzed by Detrended Correspondence Analysis (DCA). Ordination of the species and communities produced arrangements reflecting a gradient of soil moisture. The gradient successfully separated the wet areas from the marshy and dry and showed a physiognomic gradient association with physical soil properties.
