Name: Schoenoplectus pungens Semipermanently Flooded Herbaceous Alliance Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This alliance, found in the northern Great Plains, Utah, and Nevada, is made up of graminoid-dominated communities found in saline wetlands. Medium-tall and short graminoids predominate. Woody species are very uncommon. Schoenoplectus pungens (= Scirpus pungens), Suaeda calceoliformis, Distichlis spicata (on drier margins), and Ruppia maritima are all common species. Chenopodium incanum, Monolepis nuttalliana, and Picradeniopsis oppositifolia are sometimes abundant on less saline portions of the alliance. This alliance occurs in depressions and river valleys. The loam to sandy loam soils are deep, poorly drained and formed in alluvium (Steinauer 1989). These soils are slightly to strongly affected by soluble salt. Standing water is at or near the surface for most of the year.  Accession Code: VB.CC.19597.SCHOENOPLECTUSP Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
