Name: Schoenoplectus pungens Tidal Herbaceous Alliance
Reference: Eastern Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This alliance is characterized by seasonally wet maritime interdunal depressions, commonly known as interdunal swales. It includes irregularly flooded brackish marshes dominated or codominated by Schoenoplectus pungens (= Scirpus pungens), and peaty oligohaline marshes (salt 0.5-5 ppt) dominated by Schoenoplectus pungens, sometimes with Osmunda regalis var. spectabilis as codominant. Other associated species can include Spartina patens, Juncus canadensis, Juncus scirpoides, Hydrocotyle umbellata, and Eleocharis parvula. The general aspect and species composition of this vegetation is variable, not only among occurrences, but also over the course of the growing season. This alliance occurs in the Atlantic Coastal Plain from North Carolina north to Massachusetts.
