Name: Typha spp. - Carex spp. Acidic Seep Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group...
Description: This type is currently reported from the western tallgrass prairie region in southeastern Kansas. Stands occur at the bases of gently to moderately steep slopes in river valleys and canyons. Soils are shallow to deep with deposits of peat or muck, formed in sandstone or alluvium. Soils are constantly saturated by acidic groundwater that flows from gravelly or sandy substrates. The vegetation is dominated by herbaceous species, with scattered shrubs. Prominent herbs include <i>Typha latifolia</i> or <i>Typha angustifolia</i> and a variety of Carices. There may be <i>Sphagnum</i> spp. present in some stands. Shrubs include <i>Lindera benzoin, Sassafras albidum</i>, and <i>Vaccinium arboreum</i>.
