Name: Schoenoplectus pungens - Suaeda calceoliformis Alkaline Marsh Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This alkaline bulrush community type is found in the central-western Great Plains of the United States. Stands occur in depressions in the bottomlands along rivers and streams and along the margins of moderately to strongly alkaline lakes in basins or valleys with little or no surface outlet and poor subsurface drainage. Water enters the wetlands predominately through precipitation and surface runoff. These sites remain flooded through most of the season. Soils are deep, mineral-rich, poorly-drained silt loams or sandy loams with a silty clay subsoil formed in siltstone, calcareous alluvium, or eolian sand. The vegetation of this community is dominated by medium-tall graminoids which can tolerate strongly alkaline conditions. The primary species is <i>Schoenoplectus pungens</i> and in some sites <i>Scirpus nevadensis</i> is common. In Nebraska, <i>Stuckenia pectinata</i> and <i>Ruppia maritima</i> are present in the deeper parts of the wetland, and mesophytic grasses such as <i>Hordeum jubatum</i> and <i>Puccinellia nuttalliana</i> are common along the periphery. In Kansas, <i>Coreopsis tinctoria, Polygonum pensylvanicum, Sagittaria longiloba, Schoenoplectus acutus, Schoenoplectus tabernaemontani</i>, and <i>Typha latifolia</i> may also be present.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:30949-{26A1A517-CD6E-41D2-A4FA-54D028AF2633} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
