Name: Schoenoplectus americanus - Eleocharis palustris Marsh Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This wetland herbaceous association is found in the Great Basin and Mojave Desert of Utah and Nevada and the Colorado Plateau and Rocky Mountains of Colorado and New Mexico. This description is based on information from Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve in Colorado. Additional global information will be added as it becomes available. This association occurs in basin floors, swales, sabkhas, and ponds at 2300 to 2340 m elevation. Areas are semipermanently or seasonally flooded. Soils include somewhat poorly drained sandy loam, poorly drained sandy clay loam, or very poorly drained muck. Litter and duff are the dominant ground cover. All of the surveyed stands experience extensive grazing by bison, elk, and deer. The herbaceous layer is dominated by <i>Schoenoplectus americanus</i>. <i>Eleocharis palustris</i> can be considered a codominant. Additional species that can occur within this association, but not at every surveyed site, include <i>Juncus arcticus ssp. littoralis, Argentina anserina, Polygonum amphibium, Hordeum brachyantherum</i>, and <i>Carex simulata</i>. In general, this association can be found surrounded by <i>Sarcobatus</i> spp. shrublands.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:30494-{C9B7025A-7B24-4914-A940-00E38DD49FE8} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
