Name:
Dasiphora fruticosa ssp. floribunda / Rhynchospora capillacea - Scleria verticillata Shrub Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference:
Eastern Ecology Working Group of...
Description:
This fen vegetation occurs in seepage areas of marl deposits along the shores of calcareous lakes in New Jersey, New York, and perhaps elsewhere. Saturated, calcium-rich marl deposits support stunted vegetation that is often sparse. The dominant species are graminoids, including Carex flava, Eleocharis rostellata, Cladium mariscoides, and Rhynchospora capillacea. Additional species present include Scleria verticillata, Lycopus uniflorus, Parnassia glauca, Sarracenia purpurea, Schoenoplectus acutus (= Scirpus acutus), Oligoneuron ohioense (= Solidago ohioensis), Triglochin palustris, Juncus articulatus, Lobelia kalmii, Carex crawei, Panicum flexile, Equisetum variegatum, Utricularia minor, and Carex eburnea. Shrubs may occur sporadically and can include Dasiphora fruticosa ssp. floribunda (= Potentilla fruticosa), Juniperus horizontalis, and Thuja occidentalis. Nonvascular species can include Campylium stellatum and, in pools or along streambanks, Chara vulgaris.
