Name: Spartina spartinae - Sporobolus virginicus Tidal Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This community occupies relatively irregularly tidally flooded situations along the Gulf of Mexico from Texas to the Florida Keys. <i>Spartina spartinae</i> is dominant. Other species present can include <i>Sporobolus virginicus, Suaeda linearis, Batis maritima, Borrichia frutescens, Agalinis maritima, Spartina patens, Symphyotrichum tenuifolium (= Aster tenuifolius), Limonium carolinianum, Cynanchum angustifolium, Distichlis spicata</i>, and <i>Sabatia stellaris</i> within its range. Some examples may be codominated by <i>Sporobolus virginicus</i>. In the Florida Keys, these sites are affected only by highest non-storm tides, and have pore water salinities about 20 ppt. Soils are deep (greater than 30 cm), fine-textured mineral soils. On the panhandle Florida coast this community occurs in small stands, usually in lower areas behind a beach ridge on the bayshore side of barrier islands.
