Name: Distichlis spicata - Hordeum jubatum - (Poa arida, Iva annua) Wet Meadow Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This spikegrass saline meadow community is found in the central tallgrass region of eastern Nebraska on nearly level bottomlands and in upland depressions. During the spring, bottomland sites have a high water table that fluctuates from near the surface to 2-3 m underground. Occasional flooding occurs in lower portions of the community. Soils are loamy, somewhat poorly drained to poorly drained, and moderately to very strongly saline. The parent material is loess, glacial till, or alluvium. This community is dominated by salt-tolerant mid and short grasses. Trees and shrubs are very rare. In the saline prairie zone, <i>Distichlis spicata, Elymus caninus, Hordeum jubatum, Panicum virgatum</i>, and <i>Poa arida</i> are the dominant species. <i>Ambrosia artemisiifolia, Helianthus annuus, Bassia scoparia</i>, and <i>Iva annua</i> are also common. In the salt-flat zone, dominants include <i>Distichlis spicata</i> and <i>Suaeda calceoliformis</i>. <i>Salicornia rubra</i> is common in deeper, wet saline depressions.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:30940-{934DF9D6-E716-44AE-8E4B-5E5EB75A09DC} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
