Reference: Eastern Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This is an oligohaline tidal shrubland of brackish tidal waters in Maryland on firm, partially decomposed peat lacking pronounced hummock-hollow microtopography. This vegetation forms linear stands along tidal channels between freshwater tidal marshes and adjacent swamp forests. The shrub canopy is relatively open to moderately dense, and is dominated by Morella cerifera. Baccharis halimifolia is a common associate; others include Acer rubrum and Toxicodendron radicans. The herbaceous layer is relatively diverse and characterized by Eleocharis fallax, Kosteletzkya virginica, Hibiscus moscheutos, Typha angustifolia, Polygonum punctatum, Cyperus filicinus, Panicum virgatum, Schoenoplectus americanus, Amaranthus cannabinus, Hydrocotyle verticillata, Pluchea purpurascens, Spartina alterniflora, Lythrum lineare, Asclepias incarnata, Ptilimnium capillaceum, and Carex hormathodes.
