Name: A.1480
Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: This alliance occurs as narrow, almost pure, stands of ~Spartina cynosuroides$ along tidal creeks and sloughs or on levees of oligohaline tidal marshes. Some ~Spartina cynosuroides$ communities are nearly monospecific, while others have a diverse component of other graminoids and forbs. Associated plants include ~Schoenoplectus pungens (= Scirpus pungens), Schoenoplectus robustus (= Scirpus robustus), Schoenoplectus tabernaemontani (= Scirpus validus), Pontederia cordata, Peltandra virginica, Typha domingensis$, and ~Typha angustifolia$, among others. Communities in this alliance occur mainly in the mid-Atlantic states with the northern extent of distribution being southern New England.
