Name: Amaranthus cannabinus Tidal Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Eastern Ecology Working Group of... Description: This brackish marsh vegetation occupies a mid-tidal position on sandy intertidal rivershores along the north and mid-Atlantic coast where floodwaters are oligohaline to mesohaline. Amaranthus cannabinus is dominant and can be mixed with Bidens spp., Polygonum punctatum, Sagittaria latifolia, Zizania aquatica, and Schoenoplectus pungens. This association occurs on wave- and ice-scoured riverbanks or other brackish marsh habitat with coarse substrate and where tidal flooding freely drains. Species composition and abundance can change dramatically from year to year.  Accession Code: VB.CC.26160.AMARANTHUSCANNA Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
