Name: A.2007
Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: This alliance includes tidal, mesohaline to oligohaline marshes dominated or codominated by ~Schoenoplectus americanus (= Scirpus olneyi)$. Other associated species can include ~Spartina patens, Spartina alterniflora, Spartina cynosuroides, Phragmites australis, Juncus roemerianus, Typha$ spp., and ~Typha domingensis$. The general aspect and species composition of this vegetation are variable, not only among occurrences, but also over the course of the growing season. Dominance patterns are not well understood but are likely related to gradients in salinity and hydrology. This alliance is known from the Gulf Coast of Texas, the Chenier Plain of Louisiana, and the mid-Atlantic coast of Maryland and Delaware; it may also occur along the Gulf Coast of Mississippi and Alabama and possibly along the lower Atlantic coast of the United States.
