Name: Leersia hexandra - (Panicum verrucosum, Scleria reticularis) Marsh
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This depression pond type covers examples which are typically found in small, flat Carolina bays or other depressions with loamy soils and a hydroperiod slightly shorter than other marsh types. The stands of vegetation are dominated by or have a substantial component of <i>Leersia hexandra</i>. The vegetation varies dramatically in response to rainfall cycles. In wetter periods, <i>Leersia hexandra</i> dominates more strongly, while in drier times <i>Panicum verrucosum</i> and <i>Scleria reticularis</i> are also abundant. In long droughts, <i>Panicum hemitomon</i> and various woody species may invade.
