Community Type: calcareous sinkhole pond
General Description: Stands are found in both minerotrophic basin wetlands as well as rivershores. Stands are dominated by Phalaris arundinacea, a 0.5- to 2-m tall perennial grass, which tends to occur in monocultures or associated with Calamagrostis canadensis. Associates in the glaciated Northeast include Viburnum nudum, Alnus incana or Alnus serrulata, Viburnum dentatum, and Agrostis gigantea.
