Name: Typha spp. - Schoenoplectus spp. - Mixed Herbs Great Plains Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group...
Description: This community ranges broadly over the northern Great Plains of the United States. It is found in basin-like depressions, backwater areas of floodplains and margins of lakes or ponds where depths range from less than 15 cm to greater than 1 m over most or all of the growing season. Vegetation varies from zones dominated by tall emergents 1-2 m tall to those with floating or submerged aquatics in the deeper margins to perennial forbs <1 m tall in the shallower margins. In the tall emergent zone, <i>Schoenoplectus tabernaemontani (= Scirpus tabernaemontani), Schoenoplectus fluviatilis (= Scirpus fluviatilis), Schoenoplectus acutus (= Scirpus acutus), Typha angustifolia</i>, and <i>Typha latifolia</i> may dominate, mixed with a variety of other herbaceous species, such as <i>Leersia oryzoides, Eleocharis palustris, Juncus</i> spp. and <i>Sparganium</i> spp. in the shallower parts of the marsh. Floating-leaved and submerged aquatics are sometimes present, including <i>Azolla caroliniana, Lemna</i> spp., <i>Spirodela polyrrhiza</i>, and <i>Potamogeton</i> spp.
