Name: Eleocharis baldwinii Semipermanently Flooded Herbaceous Alliance
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This alliance presently includes only one type of fresh spikerush marsh recently (1998) recognized in Louisiana in the Deltaic Plain, apparently increasing in area. This vegetation (Fresh Spikerush Marsh) appears to represent degraded Fresh Maidencane Marsh. It is postulated that Fresh Maidencane Marsh 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. The 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.
