Name: Fuirena scirpoidea - Rhynchospora tracyi Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: Emergent zones of Coastal Plain limesink ponds and lakes dominated by Fuirena scirpoidea and Rhynchospora tracyi. This community may occur as a zonal band of vegetation along certain depressional wetlands primarily in the panhandle of Florida and adjacent Alabama. It is not found on all depressions originating from karstic development, but only those in which limestone is near the surface and not overburdened by deep soils. The presence of Rhynchospora tracyi is believed to be indicative of calcium near the surface (A. Johnson pers. comm.).
