Name: Calamagrostis stricta - Carex sartwellii - Carex praegracilis - Plantago eriopoda Saline Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group...
Description: This saline wet meadow community is found in the northern tallgrass region of the United States and adjacent Canada. Stands occur on level ground in depressions where the water table is at or near the surface for part of the year. The soil and water are moderately saline. The vegetation cover of this community is moderately dense to dense. Graminoids of medium and short stature are the dominant lifeform, although forbs are common. Shrubs may invade this community in the absence of fire, especially on less saline sites. The most abundant species are Symphyotrichum lanceolatum (= Aster lanceolatus), Calamagrostis stricta, Carex praegracilis, Carex sartwellii, Juncus balticus, Plantago eriopoda, and Schoenoplectus maritimus (= Scirpus maritimus).
