Name: Spartina spartinae Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This community occurs on upland flats just above normal tidal reach. Spartina spartinae is typically monodominant, but Setaria parviflora is common and typical and Spartina patens may be locally codominant. Other species include Andropogon glomeratus var. pumilus, Paspalum vaginatum, Spartina patens, Cyperus spp., Lythrum alatum var. lanceolatum, Solidago sempervirens, and Palafoxia texana var. ambigua. Scattered shrubs, such as Iva frutescens, Prosopis glandulosa var. glandulosa, and Baccharis halimifolia, can occur, especially as invaders as the result of grazing and/or fire suppression. In parts of its range, this community covers large expanses, but it also can form a linear fringe above tidal flats and marshes.  Accession Code: VB.CC.27722.SPARTINASPARTIN Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
