Name: Eleocharis palustris Great Plains Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group... Description: This spikerush wet meadow community is found in the central Great Plains of the United States and Canada. 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.  Accession Code: VB.CC.36616.CEGL005291 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
