Name: Spartina bakeri Seasonally Flooded Herbaceous Alliance
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This alliance consists of seasonally flooded wetlands dominated by Spartina bakeri, or at least with substantial cover of it. Seasonally flooded coastal interdunal swales of the Florida peninsula dominated by Spartina bakeri may also contain Muhlenbergia filipes (which may be codominant), Andropogon glomeratus, Aristida sp., Rhynchospora colorata, Sagittaria lancifolia, Eupatorium mikanioides, Setaria magna, Cladium mariscus ssp. jamaicense, Phyla nodiflora, Sabatia stellaris, and Pluchea rosea. Additional herbaceous species in South Carolina Spartina bakeri ponds may include Woodwardia virginica, Hibiscus moscheutos, Juncus effusus, Saccharum giganteum, Panicum virgatum, Cyperus odoratus, and Juncus roemerianus. Hibiscus grandiflorus is reported from some associations. These areas are not tidally flooded, but are apparently maintained as marsh by occasional flooding by brackish water during severe storm tides in hurricane events. These storm-flooding events maintain brackish soil conditions.
