Name:
Schoenoplectus tabernaemontani - Typha spp. - (Sparganium spp., Juncus spp.) Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference:
Midwestern Ecology Working Group...
Description:
This shallow marsh mixed emergent community ranges broadly over the midwestern United States and adjacent Canada. It is found in basin-like depressions, backwater areas of floodplains, and shallow margins of lakes or ponds. Soils are shallow to deep, very poorly drained, consisting of peats, mucks, or mineral materials, often found in alluvium. Vegetation varies from zones dominated by tall emergents 1-2 m tall to those with hydrophytic annual and perennial forbs <1 m tall. In the tall emergent zone, Schoenoplectus tabernaemontani (= Scirpus tabernaemontani), Schoenoplectus fluviatilis (= Scirpus fluviatilis), Schoenoplectus acutus (= Scirpus acutus), Typha angustifolia, and Typha latifolia may dominate, mixed with a variety of other herbaceous species, such as Leersia oryzoides, Eleocharis palustris, Juncus spp., and Sparganium spp. The hydrophytic annual and perennial forb zone is dominated by Alisma subcordatum, Alisma plantago-aquatica, Sagittaria latifolia, Sparganium eurycarpum, Pontederia cordata, along with Bacopa rotundifolia and Heteranthera limosa. Occasional floating-leaved aquatics are sometimes present, including Azolla caroliniana, Lemna spp., Spirodela polyrrhiza, and Utricularia macrorhiza.
