Name: Typha spp. - (Schoenoplectus spp., Juncus spp.) Seasonally Flooded Herbaceous Alliance
Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group...
Description: This alliance, found in the midwestern United States and the central provinces of Canada, is characterized by emergent graminoids and forbs in shallow marshes. Shallow aquatics like Sparganium eurycarpum or Sagittaria latifolia may be more diagnostic than Typha spp. or Schoenoplectus spp. (= Scirpus spp.). Other species present include Carex comosa, Lemna minor, and Rumex orbiculatus. Further work is needed to characterize this alliance. Shallow marshes have soils that are saturated to inundated by standing water up to 15 cm in depth throughout much of the growing season.
