Name: Eleocharis sp. - Iva angustifolia Saturated Herbaceous Alliance Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: Inland saline prairies, apparently associated with saline seepage from inland salt domes, with scattered patchy vegetation dominated by Eleocharis sp. and Iva angustifolia. This alliance is known from outcrops of saline material apparently associated with inland salt domes. The clayey soils (Bonn series, a Glossic Natraqualf) are saturated to rarely flooded with saline seepage. Saline springs form artesian mudpots 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. The only known occurrences are in Winn Parish, Louisiana.  Accession Code: VB.CC.26271.ELEOCHARISSPIVA Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
