Name: Carex spp. - Typha spp. Saturated Herbaceous Alliance
Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group...
Description: This alliance is dominated by hydrophytic graminoids and found in the central United States near acid or neutral seeps. Vegetation cover is moderate to high and 1 m or less tall. Diagnostic species of this alliance are not well understood. Typha latifolia is the most common of the taller species. Among the shorter species, Carex spp., Equisetum hyemale, Climacium americanum, Eupatorium perfoliatum, and Scirpus spp. are abundant. Shrubs and small trees, such as Populus deltoides, Salix spp., and Lindera benzoin (in the southeast of this alliance's range), are sometimes present. This alliance forms on the slopes and at the bases of hills, valleys, and bluffs. Soils are shallow to deep and formed from sandstone, glacial till, loess, and colluvium. Moderately minerotrophic groundwater saturates stands for much of the year.
