Name: Carex spp. - Triglochin maritima - Eleocharis quinqueflora Marl Fen
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This community type is found in the northeastern and north-central Great Plains. This community is found in localized areas where mineral-rich groundwater flow emerges at the ground's surface. These areas remain saturated throughout the growing season, permitting the development of organic peat. These communities may have small pools which have precipitates of calcium carbonate and other minerals. These pools are often surrounded by fine-textured, short-statured vegetation such as <i>Eleocharis quinqueflora, Rhynchospora capillacea, Lobelia kalmii</i>, and <i>Parnassia palustris</i>. There are also areas of taller vegetation such as <i>Carex prairea, Schoenoplectus pungens</i>, and <i>Carex aquatilis</i>.
