Name: Eleocharis sp. - Iva angustifolia - Distichlis spicata Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This association occurs on high sodium substrates apparently associated with inland subsurface salt domes in Louisiana and Arkansas. The clayey soils (Bonn series, a Glossic Natraqualf in Louisiana) are saturated to rarely flooded with saline seepage. Saline springs form small (1- to 2-m diameter) artesian pimple hummocks or 'ooze mounds' at scattered locations. The vegetation is patchy, with much bare soil. The shrub stratum consists of widely scattered individuals of Sabal minor and Baccharis halimifolia. The herbaceous stratum consists of scattered patches of Eleocharis sp., Iva angustifolia (an annual), Distichlis spicata, Juncus sp., Bacopa monnieri, and others.
