Name: Eleocharis baldwinii - Hydrocotyle (ranunculoides, umbellata) Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This fresh spikerush marsh is a prominent fresh flotant marsh (thin mat) type recently (1998) recognized in Louisiana in the Deltaic Plain, and it is apparently becoming more common. This type is codominated by Eleocharis baldwinii and Hydrocotyle spp., mainly Hydrocotyle ranunculoides and Hydrocotyle umbellata; Bidens laevis is a frequent codominant. Species richness in this marsh type is moderate. This association (Fresh Spikerush Marsh) appears to represent degraded Panicum hemitomon Semipermanently Flooded Herbaceous Vegetation (CEGL004665), which may convert to Fresh Spikerush Marsh as a consequence of intense herbivory (by nutria [or muskrat?]), changes in hydrology, changes in water quality, certain fire regimes, or other factors. It is unclear whether the type is a "natural" (i.e., non-anthropogenic) type or not.
