Community Type: tidal brackish marsh
Community Description: Irregularly flooded, slightly brackish marsh adjacent to a small stream which flows into Mill Creek in Supawna Meadows NWR. Marsh is dominated by Typha angustifolia, with small amounts of Echinochloa walteri, Scirpus validus and Scirpus robustus. The area surveyed has been treated to reduce the Phragmites population - successfully. The area further south, which has not been treated, appears to be a monoculture of Phragmites. High tide marks on the vegetation stems are the only evidence of community processes. No soil sampling was done, but surface soil apperaed to be black muck. Marsh is quite diverse and has a good number of non-graminoid species. The site should be evaluated earlier in the season.
