Name: Spartina pectinata - Calamagrostis stricta - Carex spp. Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group...
Description: This prairie cordgrass wet prairie community occurs in the northern tallgrass prairie region of the United States and Canada. Stands occur in many shallow pond basins and lakes, as well as on terraces and floodplains of streams and rivers. The soils are deep, typically poorly drained, with clay or silty loam upper horizons that have a characteristic gley layer. The community is subject to seasonal inundation. The vegetation is dominated by fine-textured grasses, low sedges, and rushes, with a mixture of forbs. The most common species are Symphyotrichum lanceolatum var. lanceolatum (= Aster lanceolatus var. lanceolatus), Boltonia asteroides var. latisquama, Calamagrostis canadensis, Carex pellita (= Carex lanuginosa), Carex praegracilis, Carex sartwellii, Carex stricta, Poa palustris, and Spartina pectinata. Other species that are often present are Apocynum cannabinum, Juncus balticus, Liatris pycnostachya, Sonchus arvensis, Stachys palustris, and Teucrium canadense.
