Name: Schoenoplectus americanus - (Spartina patens) - Typha spp. Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This association includes tidal, mesohaline to oligohaline marshes dominated or codominated by Schoenoplectus americanus (= Scirpus olneyi). Other associated species can include Spartina patens, Juncus roemerianus, and Typha domingensis. The general aspect and species composition of this vegetation are variable, not only among occurrences, but also over the course of the growing season. Dominance patterns are not well understood but are likely related to gradients in salinity and hydrology. This association is known from the Gulf Coast of Texas and Louisiana; it may also occur along the Gulf Coast of Mississippi and Alabama. This vegetation may grade down into vegetation dominated by Spartina patens, Distichlis spicata, Juncus roemerianus or Spartina alterniflora, and up into shrub-dominated zones or saline prairie. The woody shrub component of this zone is diminished by storm tides, as well as the effects of fire. More information is needed on this vegetation type. This vegetation is found in the marshes of the Chenier Plain of Louisiana and upper and mid Texas coast where it may be interspersed with Spartina patens - Schoenoplectus (americanus, pungens) - (Distichlis spicata) Herbaceous Vegetation (CEGL004755) and Spartina alterniflora - Distichlis spicata - Spartina patens Mesohaline Tidal Herbaceous Vegetation (CEGL002230). It differs from Spartina patens - Schoenoplectus (americanus, pungens) - (Distichlis spicata) Herbaceous Vegetation (CEGL004755) by the dominance or codominance of Schoenoplectus americanus.  Accession Code: VB.CC.27076.SCHOENOPLECTUSA Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
