Name: Eleocharis palustris - Juncus arcticus ssp. littoralis Marsh
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This saline-tolerant herbaceous association is described from playa flats in central Utah. Occurrences form a belt around springs rising from the former bed of Pleistocene Lake Bonneville at an elevation of 1370 m (4495 feet). The clay-loam soils supporting this association tend to have lower conductivity and higher levels of calcium, copper and nitrogen when compared with neighboring spring-associated communities. Dominance by <i>Eleocharis palustris</i> is diagnostic of this association; <i>Juncus arcticus ssp. littoralis</i> is always present and may be codominant. <i>Muhlenbergia asperifolia, Glaux maritima</i>, and <i>Carex aquatilis</i> may occur with low cover.
