Name: Calamagrostis canadensis - Dichanthelium meridionale Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Eastern Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This pondshore margin community of southern New England and New York generally occurs as a narrow band at the periphery of Coastal Plain pondshore basins, adjacent to the shrub zone or upland forest, if a shrub zone is absent. The substrate is sandy with a shallow organic layer, or deeper muck. Characteristic species include Calamagrostis canadensis, Panicum meridionale, Panicum virgatum (= var. cubense), Euthamia tenuifolia, Viola lanceolata, and Polygala cruciata. Sphagnum cuspidatum can be abundant. Shrubs from the adjacent border may be admixed at variable cover. Shrubs may include Spiraea alba, Clethra alnifolia, Vaccinium corymbosum, Chamaedaphne calyculata, Leucothoe racemosa, or Vaccinium macrocarpon.
