Name: Schoenoplectus robustus - Juncus gerardii - Hordeum jubatum - Atriplex patula Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This inland salt flat is known only from Virginia. It occurs where the groundwater saturates salt deposits, supporting a dense graminoid wetland dominated by Juncus gerardii and Schoenoplectus robustus (= Scirpus robustus). Other halophytic species include Eleocharis parvula, Salicornia virginica (= Salicornia europaea), and Atriplex patula. Other wetland associates include Typha latifolia, Oenothera biennis, Hibiscus moscheutos, as well as scattered Hordeum jubatum and Schoenoplectus acutus (= Scirpus acutus). Although similar to inland saline marshes of Michigan and New York, this type can be differentiated by a denser plant cover in comparison to the sparse mud flats of more northern saline marshes. In addition, the related vegetation is characterized by different species of Juncus and Schoenoplectus.
