Name: Schoenoplectus americanus Western Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This wetland herbaceous association ranges from California to Washington and east to Colorado and Wyoming. This description is based on information from Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve in Colorado. Additional global information will be added as it becomes available. This association is found within basin floor sabkhas, swales, or dunefields at elevations ranging from 2300 to 2340 m. This palustrine system can be seasonally flooded, temporarily flooded, or saturated. Soils are very poorly drained clays or very poorly to poorly drained loamy sands. Ground cover includes litter and duff (30-35%) and bare soil (10-40%). Herbaceous vegetation cover ranges from 55-95%, which is largely comprised of <i>Schoenoplectus americanus</i> with 20-70% cover. Additional species that occur in lesser amounts include <i>Cleome multicaulis, Distichlis spicata</i>, and <i>Juncus balticus</i>.  Accession Code: VB.CC.32507.CEGL001841 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
