Name: Eleocharis sp. - Iva angustifolia - Distichlis spicata Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This association occurs on high sodium substrates apparently associated with inland subsurface salt domes in Louisiana and Arkansas. The clayey soils (Bonn series, a Glossic Natraqualf in Louisiana) are saturated to rarely flooded with saline seepage. Saline springs form small (1- to 2-m diameter) artesian pimple hummocks or "ooze mounds" at scattered locations. The vegetation is patchy, with much bare soil. The shrub stratum consists of widely scattered individuals of <i>Sabal minor</i> and <i>Baccharis halimifolia</i>. The herbaceous stratum consists of scattered patches of <i>Eleocharis</i> sp., <i>Iva angustifolia</i> (an annual), <i>Distichlis spicata, Juncus</i> sp., <i>Bacopa monnieri</i>, and others.
