Name: Scolochloa festucacea Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group... Description: This sprangletop marsh type is found in the northern Great Plains region of the United States and Canada. Stands occur on sites with standing water for part of the growing season. The water table may be above the surface for only a few weeks in spring after heavy rains or constantly until mid-summer. Stands dominated by <i>Scolochloa festucacea</i> can be found on marginally fresh to moderately saline stands. The soils are typically medium to fine-textured and often have an accumulation of organic matter. Graminoids 0.5-1.0 m tall dominate the moderately dense to dense vegetation cover. Forbs are not common and shrubs are very rare. <i>Scolochloa festucacea</i> is the single most abundant species and may occur in almost monotypic stands. Other abundant species include <i>Carex atherodes, Carex laeviconica, Eleocharis palustris, Glyceria grandis, Juncus balticus, Sium suave</i>, and <i>Typha latifolia</i>.  Accession Code: VB.CC.36692.CEGL002260 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
