Name: Juncus militaris Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Sneddon, L. A., M. Anderson, and...
Description: This Coastal Plain pondshore vegetation of southern New England and possibly Ontario occurs in shallow standing water at the shore of permanent water bodies. The sandy or gravelly substrate generally supports an organic layer of variable depth. Juncus militaris dominates the association. Regular associates include Gratiola aurea, Nymphoides cordata, Nymphaea odorata, and Eriocaulon aquaticum. Other species occurring in this type include Pontederia cordata, Hydrocotyle umbellata, Eleocharis robbinsii, Eleocharis olivacea, Sagittaria teres, Lysimachia terrestris, Sium suave, and Triadenum virginicum. This vegetation is similar to Eriocaulon aquaticum - Lobelia dortmanna Herbaceous Vegetation (CEGL006346) in its similar topographic position and apparently similar hydroperiod, and in the presence of Eriocaulon aquaticum, Gratiola aurea, and Nymphoides cordata. It differs in its physiognomy, being dominated by a tall, coarse rhizomatous graminoid, and although environmental measures are lacking, organic layer depth is suspected to be deeper in this type because of the presence of such plants as Pontederia cordata, Eleocharis olivacea, and Triadenum virginicum.
