Name: A.1350
Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: This alliance contains stands in the northern Great Plains in saline wet meadows. The vegetation cover is moderately dense to dense. Graminoids of medium and short stature are the dominant lifeform, although forbs are common. Shrubs may invade this community in the absence of fire, especially on less saline sites. The most abundant species are ~Symphyotrichum lanceolatum (= Aster lanceolatus), Calamagrostis stricta, Carex praegracilis, Carex sartwellii, Juncus balticus, Plantago eriopoda$, and ~Schoenoplectus maritimus (= Scirpus maritimus)$. ~Spartina pectinata$ may be present to common in some stands. ^This alliance is found on level ground in depressions where the water table is at or near the surface for part of the year. The soil and water are moderately saline.
