T2 wetlands are found just above bare mud surfaces on flatter areas of estuaries.  A single polygon, near the mouth of the Kenai River has been named T2.  This component is typically found at a scale too fine to map, and is frequently included as an unnamed portion of a larger T0, T1, or T3 unit. 

T2 is Vince and Snow's (1984) Outer Mudflats Zone 1, which they estimated was the most frequently inundated of any zone on the Susitna Flats (26-46 times per summer, with an average of 34 times per summer), in upper Cook Inlet, Alaska.  They also found that water was retained for only 4-5 hours per inundation. 

Creeping alkaligrass (Puccinellia phyganodes) dominates, and often is the only plant found carpeting the muddy surface.  Soils may have a high organic content, and therefore are Clunie series histosols, but Vince and Snow found relatively low organic content in soils on the Susitna Flats (1984), which are unnamed typic cryaquents.
