Name: Schoenoplectus maritimus - Schoenoplectus acutus - (Triglochin maritima) Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group... Description: This community type is found in the northeastern Great Plains of the United States and Canada, on sites that are flooded for much of the growing season, including prairie potholes and the margins of streams and lakes. The soils are typically medium to fine-textured and moderately saline to saline. This is an emergent wetland consisting predominantly of medium-tall graminoids. Shrubs are very rare and forbs are not abundant. The canopy of vegetation is often dense, but may be only moderate on more saline sites. <i>Schoenoplectus acutus (= Scirpus acutus)</i> and <i>Schoenoplectus maritimus (= Scirpus maritimus)</i> are typically the most abundant species, either individually or together, in this community. <i>Schoenoplectus maritimus</i> is typically more abundant on stands with higher salinities and may form virtually monotypic stands, while <i>Schoenoplectus acutus</i> tends to dominate on moderately saline sites. Other species commonly found in moderately saline stands include <i>Juncus balticus, Scolochloa festucacea, Schoenoplectus americanus (= Scirpus americanus), Schoenoplectus tabernaemontani (= Scirpus tabernaemontani), Triglochin maritima</i>, and <i>Typha latifolia</i>. <i>Triglochin maritima</i> can also grow on the drier edges of the more saline stands.  Accession Code: VB.CC.36758.CEGL002227 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
