Name: A.1459
Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: Inland saline prairies, apparently associated with saline seepage from inland salt domes, with scattered patchy vegetation dominated by ~Eleocharis$ sp. and ~Iva angustifolia$. This alliance is known from outcrops of saline material apparently associated with inland salt domes. The clayey soils (Bonn series, a Glossic Natraqualf) are saturated to rarely flooded with saline seepage. Saline springs form artesian mudpots or 'ooze mounds' at scattered locations. The vegetation is patchy, with much bare soil. The shrub stratum consists of widely scattered individuals of ~Sabal minor$ and ~Baccharis halimifolia$. The herbaceous stratum consists of scattered patches of ~Eleocharis$ sp., ~Iva angustifolia$ (an annual), ~Distichlis spicata, Juncus$ sp., ~Bacopa monnieri$, and others. The only known occurrences are in Winn Parish, Louisiana.
