Name: Festuca rubra - (Argentina egedii) Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This association is a high intertidal marsh that occurs only in Washington (southern Puget Lowlands, Grays Harbor, and Willapa Bay) and perhaps formerly as far north as southern British Columbia. It is reported to occur primarily on silty substrates or peat soils and relatively low salinity. The dense herbaceous vegetation is dominated or codominated by the grass <i>Festuca rubra</i>. Other species that are frequently present and that can be locally codominant include <i>Deschampsia caespitosa, Juncus balticus</i>, and <i>Argentina egedii</i>. This association is best distinguished from other Washington salt marsh associations by the dominance of <i>Festuca rubra</i>.
