Description: This herbaceous community occurs in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey on the floodplains of Outer Coastal Plain rivers and streams. It is often found in expanses bordered by woody herbaceous savanna. Microtopography is fairly flat with occasional hummocks. The visual impression of this community is a pale green meadow. This community is a successional community on sites disturbed by intense fire and those historically disturbed by extensive bog iron mining. It also occurs as a very narrow ecotonal band between wet and woody savanna. Dominant species include <i>Muhlenbergia torreyana, Lobelia canbyi</i>, and <i>Rhynchospora alba</i>. <i>Muhlenbergia torreyana</i> can form a monoculture in sites that have burned. Associated woody species include <i>Acer rubrum</i> saplings. Associated herbaceous species include <i>Drosera intermedia, Eleocharis tuberculosa, Juncus militaris, Rhynchospora chalarocephala</i>, and <i>Triadenum virginicum</i>. Associated fern and fern-like species include <i>Lycopodiella alopecuroides (= Lycopodium alopecuroides)</i>.
