Name: Schoenoplectus pungens - Fimbristylis (castanea, caroliniana) Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Eastern Ecology Working Group of... Description: This interdunal swale community of the Atlantic coast (Chesapeake and Delaware drainages) is characterized by dense cover of Schoenoplectus pungens (= Scirpus pungens) in association with Spartina patens and Fimbristylis castanea. There is usually standing water present in these swales in the spring, when Schoenoplectus pungens is generally dominant with few other associates except species of Eleocharis. By late summer a number of other species such as Fimbristylis castanea and Sabatia stellaris contribute more substantial cover. Other herbs contribute very little to the overall vegetative cover. These associated species include Andropogon virginicus, Eleocharis rostellata, Phragmites australis, Pluchea foetida, Juncus scirpoides, Hydrocotyle umbellata, Eleocharis parvula, Panicum amarum, Fimbristylis autumnalis, Sabatia stellaris, Ptilimnium capillaceum, Fuirena pumila, and Juncus canadensis. Diagnostic species are Schoenoplectus pungens and Fimbristylis castanea. Related vegetation of the Atlantic coast from North Carolina southward is accommodated under Fimbristylis castanea - Schoenoplectus pungens Seasonally Flooded Herbaceous Vegetation (CEGL003790).  Accession Code: VB.CC.23890.SCHOENOPLECTUSP Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
