Name: Eriocaulon aquaticum - Juncus pelocarpus - Drosera intermedia Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: The vegetation of Pine Barren riverside savannas of New Jersey Description: This pine barrens savanna community occurs in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey on the floodplains of Outer Coastal Plain rivers and streams. It is often found in seepage channels or in wet depressions that are part of a mosaic of herbaceous and woody herbaceous riverside savanna. Microtopography is flat to gently sloping with scattered emergent plants and exposed substrate. The visual impression of this community is a very wet, shallow depression, linear or lobed, often flooded except during drought when iron-rich muck substrate is exposed. This community is stable in perennial seepage channels and successional in historically disturbed sites that were mined for bog iron and currently low enough in elevation to be backflooded by river water. Dominant species include Eriocaulon aquaticum, Juncus pelocarpus, and Drosera intermedia. Orontium aquaticum, Nymphaea odorata, Juncus militaris, or Rhynchospora inundata can also be codominant and may be considered variants of this type. Associated herbaceous species include Cladium mariscoides, Dulichium arundinaceum, Eleocharis olivacea var. olivacea (= Eleocharis flavescens var. olivacea), Eleocharis tuberculosa, Rhynchospora alba, Sagittaria engelmanniana, Sclerolepis uniflora, Utricularia cornuta, and Xyris smalliana. Associated bryophytes include Sphagnum pylaesii.  Accession Code: VB.CC.27982.ERIOCAULONAQUAT Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
