Name: Schoenoplectus californicus - Typha latifolia Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This herbaceous association is currently only known from Point Reyes National Seashore and Suisun Marsh in California, and the following description is based on occurrences there. Additional information will be added as it becomes available. This association is found on flat, linear basins/wetlands. Soil textures range from medium silt loam to moderately fine clay loam of mixed alluvium and Franciscan Melange. Water typically is at the surface throughout the growing season. Water chemistry is typically fresh to brackish. Stands of this association form an open to intermittent layer of 10-44% cover at 1-2 m tall, and 25-40% cover at 2-5 m tall dominated by <i>Schoenoplectus californicus (= Scirpus californicus)</i> and sometimes <i>Typha latifolia, Typha domingensis</i>, and <i>Typha angustifolia</i>. <i>Lemna minor</i> may be common in the understory. <i>Juncus effusus, Typha domingensis, Calamagrostis nutkaensis</i>, and <i>Polygonum amphibium</i> may also contribute to minor cover in the understory.
