Name: Eleocharis palustris Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This spikerush wet meadow community is found in the central Great Plains of the United States and Canada and in the western United States. Elevations range from near sea level to 3050 m (0-10,000 feet). Stands occur in small depressions in intermittent streambeds or depression ponds that flood early in the season and may dry out by summer. Soils are generally fine-textured. Stands are composed of submersed and emergent rooted vegetation under 1 m tall that is dominated by <i>Eleocharis palustris</i>, often in nearly pure stands. Vegetative cover can be sparse to dense (10-90%), but <i>Eleocharis palustris</i> is the dominant species, and the only species with 100% constancy. Other species, when present, can contribute as much as 40% cover, but never exceed that of the <i>Eleocharis palustris</i> cover.
