Name: Equisetum fluviatile - (Eleocharis palustris) Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group...
Description: This low graminoid marsh community is found in the boreal regions of the Great Lakes and perhaps more widely in Canada. Stands occur in wave-washed shores, sandbars, and stream channels. Substrate is mineral soil (often sand), sometimes held together by root mats. The water regime is permanently flooded to intermittently exposed, and water depth is generally less than 1 m. A layer of partially decomposed stalks may be present. Emergent cover is greater than 25%, and floating-leaved and submergent cover is low. Emergent graminoids <1 m dominate the stands, including Equisetum fluviatile and/or Eleocharis palustris (= Eleocharis smallii). Associated species of low constancy include Glyceria borealis, Isoetes tenella (= Isoetes echinospora), Potamogeton gramineus, and Utricularia macrorhiza (= Utricularia vulgaris).
