Name: Eleocharis palustris - Juncus balticus Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This saline-tolerant herbaceous association is described from playa flats in central Utah. Occurrences form a belt around springs rising from the former bed of Pleistocene Lake Bonneville at an elevation of 1370 m (4495 feet). The clay-loam soils supporting this association tend to have lower conductivity and higher levels of calcium, copper and nitrogen when compared with neighboring spring-associated communities. Dominance by Eleocharis palustris is diagnostic of this association; Juncus balticus is always present and may be codominant. Muhlenbergia asperifolia, Glaux maritima, and Carex aquatilis may occur with low cover.
