Las especies de plantas raras que están afectadas por el sombreado pueden estar amenazadas por la falta de perturbación natural que elimina la vegetación sobresaliente. La distribución original de la especie de estudio Physostegia correllii (Lundell) Shinners incluyó llanuras de inundación de agua dulce de grandes ríos en el centro-sur de los Estados Unidos (ríos Colorado, Río Grande y Mississippi). Una segunda especie, Trillium texanum Buckley se encontró en las baygalls de filtraciones primavera en el centro-este de Texas y el extremo noroeste de Luisiana. Los experimentos para determinar los efectos del sombreado en P. correllii y T. texanum se llevaron a cabo mediante tratamiento de sombreado con tela a corto plazo (luz solar completa frente a un sombreado del 30% durante 2-3 semanas) y un tratamiento de sequia para T. texanum (húmedo vs. menos húmedo). La altura media y las respuestas de cobertura de los individuos para ambas especies se determinaron en jardines de conservación ubicados en Lafayette, Louisiana. Physostegia correllii cultivada en ambientes sombreados durante 2,5 semanas alcanzó una altura media menor que cultivada a plena luz del sol. La mitad de las plantas en parcelas sombreadas habían muerto a mediados del verano. Para T. texanum, el sombreado redujo la altura media y la cobertura de las plantas. Por lo tanto, la gestión para eliminar la vegetación del suelo para imitar la perturbación natural podría revivir las poblaciones de P. correllii y / o T. texanum donde la vegetación está aumentando debido a la falta de perturbación natural (por ejemplo, inundaciones, pastoreo, quema).
