Name: Schoenoplectus robustus - Juncus gerardii - Hordeum jubatum - Atriplex patula Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This inland salt flat is known only from Virginia. It occurs where the groundwater saturates salt deposits, supporting a dense graminoid wetland dominated by <i>Juncus gerardii</i> and <i>Schoenoplectus robustus (= Scirpus robustus)</i>. Other halophytic species include <i>Eleocharis parvula, Salicornia virginica (= Salicornia europaea)</i>, and <i>Atriplex patula</i>. Other wetland associates include <i>Typha latifolia, Oenothera biennis, Hibiscus moscheutos</i>, as well as scattered <i>Hordeum jubatum</i> and <i>Schoenoplectus acutus (= Scirpus acutus)</i>. Although similar to inland saline marshes of Michigan and New York, this type can be differentiated by a denser plant cover in comparison to the sparse mudflats of more northern saline marshes. In addition, the related vegetation is characterized by different species of <i>Juncus</i> and <i>Schoenoplectus</i>.
