Name: Calamagrostis nutkaensis - Argentina egedii - Juncus arcticus ssp. littoralis Salt Marsh
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This is an estuarine high intertidal marsh that occurs along the outer coast of Washington, primarily around Grays Harbor and Willapa Bay, in the transition zone between uplands and estuarine intertidal. It occurs along upper tidal river and stream reaches where salinities are low and tidal inundation is infrequent. This densely vegetated association is dominated by the herbaceous species <i>Calamagrostis nutkaensis</i> (grass often &gt;1 m tall), and the much shorter <i>Juncus arcticus ssp. littoralis</i> and the forb <i>Argentina egedii</i>. The non-native <i>Agrostis stolonifera</i> is also typically codominant. Other common species include <i>Angelica lucida, Heracleum maximum</i>, and <i>Sidalcea hendersonii</i>. It is distinguished from other Washington salt marsh associations by the dominance or codominance of <i>Calamagrostis nutkaensis</i>.
