Name: A.1431
Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: This alliance consists of non-tidal ~Phragmites$ marshes with semipermanently or, rarely, seasonally flooded hydrology, occurring either in depressions or along rivers with seasonal fluctuation in water level throughout the United States and adjacent Canada. This includes semipermanently flooded marshes, ditches, impoundments, etc., which are strongly dominated by essentially monospecific stands of ~Phragmites australis$, which is rapidly spreading in disturbed areas and excluding native vegetation. Stands may be composed entirely of ~Phragmites australis$, with few or no other vascular plants present.
