Name: Schoenoplectus acutus - Typha latifolia - (Schoenoplectus tabernaemontani) Sandhills Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group... Description: This community is found in the central Great Plains of the United States in floodplains or interdunal valleys. The soils are deep, poorly-drained sands or sandy loams that are rich in organic matter (muck or peat) and formed in eolian sand or alluvium. These sites are flooded for most of the growing season by water several centimeters to about 1 m deep. The water is usually slightly alkaline. The vegetation of this community varies in response to water depth, chemistry, turbidity, and temperature. The most abundant species in the more permanently flooded zone are tall hydrophytic graminoids, such as Schoenoplectus acutus (= Scirpus acutus), Schoenoplectus tabernaemontani (= Scirpus tabernaemontani) and Typha latifolia. Sagittaria latifolia is a common forb often present in openings among the dominants and in deeper water at the margin of the community. Submersed species present include Ceratophyllum demersum, Lemna trisulca, Potamogeton spp., and Zannichellia palustris. In more seasonally flooded portions of the marsh Phragmites australis may dominate and exclude other species.  Accession Code: VB.CC.27130.SCHOENOPLECTUSA Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
