Name: Juncus roemerianus Salt Marsh
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This broad-ranging <i>Juncus roemerianus</i> salt marsh community is characterized by discrete, dense patches usually strongly dominated by <i>Juncus roemerianus</i>, often with few other associates, or with low cover of <i>Distichlis spicata, Spartina alterniflora, Spartina patens</i>, and <i>Limonium carolinianum</i>. As currently defined, this community occurs in a variety of settings in different marsh regions including both "high" and "low" marshes. For example, large expanses of this type are found in northwest Florida at or below the mean high water line. In other regions it may be found as isolated patches within high salt marsh, or may dominate vast areas at the heads of tidal creeks. In general, the prevalence of <i>Juncus roemerianus</i> in Florida indicates the prevalence of high marshes (above mean high water). Its hydrology is generally irregularly tidally flooded.
