Name: Typha domingensis Western Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This wetland association is widespread across the southwestern United States and Great Basin. These marshes occur in bottomlands along drainages, in river floodplain depressions, oxbow lakes, and below seeps. Substrates are variable but are generally fine-textured, alkaline, alluvial soil. Flood regimes range from seasonal inundation with the soils drying out and cracking in late summer to permanently flooded marshes. The vegetation is characterized by a dense, 2- to 4-m tall herbaceous layer of <i>Typha domingensis</i> that dominates the site as a monoculture or codominates with <i>Schoenoplectus acutus (= Scirpus acutus)</i> or species of <i>Carex</i>. Associated graminoids include <i>Carex nebrascensis, Eleocharis palustris, Eleocharis macrostachya, Juncus balticus, Schoenoplectus maritimus (= Scirpus maritimus), Schoenoplectus pungens</i>, and under drier conditions <i>Hordeum jubatum</i> and <i>Distichlis spicata</i> may be present. During extended inundation, aquatic plant such as <i>Stuckenia pectinata (= Potamogeton pectinatus)</i> may flourish. Other forbs such as <i>Euthamia occidentalis (= Solidago occidentalis), Polygonum lapathifolium (= Persicaria lapathifolium), Chenopodium</i> spp., and <i>Sagittaria</i> spp. may also be present.  Accession Code: VB.CC.32453.CEGL001845 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
