Name: A.1474
Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: This alliance includes peaty oligohaline marshes, well away from tidal guts, with frequent to dominant ~Eleocharis fallax$ and ~Eleocharis rostellata$; these have been termed 'spikerush lawns' in very slightly brackish (oligohaline) marshes. Other characteristic species can include ~Centella erecta, Eriocaulon decangulare, Ludwigia alata, Cyperus haspan, Cladium mariscoides, Sabatia dodecandra, Eryngium aquaticum, Proserpinaca palustris, Ludwigia alata$, and ~Juncus$ spp. This alliance ranges from Maryland southwards along the southeastern Coastal Plain. Salinity is 0.5-5 ppt. Even though there is some variability in the expression of this marsh vegetation between North Carolina and Virginia examples, only one association has been described.
