Name: Schoenoplectus acutus - (Schoenoplectus fluviatilis) Freshwater Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group...
Description: This hardstem bulrush - mixed bulrush community type is found mainly in the northeastern Great Plains and northern tallgrass prairie region of the United States and Canada. Stands occur on wetland sites that are flooded for most or all of the growing season. Soils can be largely mineral or contain significant organic matter. Tall graminoids, particularly <i>Schoenoplectus acutus (= Scirpus acutus)</i> and, less frequently, <i>Schoenoplectus fluviatilis (= Scirpus fluviatilis)</i>, dominate the vegetation. These two species may grow taller than 2 m and sometimes nearly exclude other species. Other species that can be present include <i>Carex atherodes</i> (especially in the shallower parts of the community), <i>Lemna</i> spp., <i>Schoenoplectus tabernaemontani (= Scirpus tabernaemontani), Typha latifolia</i>, and <i>Utricularia macrorhiza (= Utricularia vulgaris)</i>. <i>Schoenoplectus tabernaemontani</i> can be codominant in places.
