Northern Tallgrass Saline Mudflats Sparse Vegetation | NatureServe Biotics 2019

Name: Northern Tallgrass Saline Mudflats Sparse Vegetation Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This saline mudflat community occurs in the northern tallgrass region of the United States and Canada. These mudflats are found in shallow basins that flood in the spring and drawdown later in the season, exposing the wet sediments on which the plants grow. High concentrations of salts that were dissolved in the water accumulate on the surface. Submerged aquatic plants may be present during the flooding stage, leaving organic debris on the surface. The vegetation is generally sparse. Plant species tolerant of high concentrations of dissolved salts dominate the stands. <i>Puccinellia nuttalliana, Salicornia rubra</i> and <i>Bolboschoenus maritimus</i> are particularly characteristic.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:31489-{8E283717-8848-4D11-BED3-10BA3771B345} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
