Name: Peltandra virginica - Schoenoplectus (pungens, tabernaemontani) Tidal Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Eastern Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This sparsely to densely vegetated herbaceous community occurs in low intertidal portions of marshes along tidal rivers and large tributaries in Virginia. It occupies both narrow zones along channel edges in chiefly freshwater regimes and in local subsidence areas in the interior of small to large marshes under freshwater to oligohaline conditions. <i>Peltandra virginica</i> is a constant and typically dominant or codominant constituent. Most stands also contain <i>Schoenoplectus pungens</i> or <i>Schoenoplectus tabernaemontani</i>. Other common associates include <i>Polygonum punctatum, Zizania aquatica, Leersia oryzoides, Pontederia cordata</i>, and in freshwater habitats <i>Eleocharis quadrangulata</i>. Stature of prevailing vegetation is generally <1 m, but emergent stems of <i>Schoenoplectus tabernaemontani</i> or <i>Zizania aquatica</i> may reach 2 m.
