Name: Amaranthus cannabinus Tidal Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Eastern Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This brackish marsh vegetation occupies a mid-tidal position on sandy intertidal rivershores along the north and mid-Atlantic coast where floodwaters are oligohaline to mesohaline. <i>Amaranthus cannabinus</i> is dominant and can be mixed with <i>Bidens</i> spp., <i>Polygonum punctatum, Sagittaria latifolia, Zizania aquatica</i>, and <i>Schoenoplectus pungens</i>. This association occurs on wave- and ice-scoured riverbanks or other brackish marsh habitat with coarse substrate and where tidal flooding freely drains. Species composition and abundance can change dramatically from year to year.
