Name: Schoenoplectus pungens Tidal Salt Marsh
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This association occurs on fresh to brackish, mid-tidal, sandy/gravelly rivershores along the north and mid-Atlantic coast. It occurs in low areas where there is a longer duration of flooding. Wave and ice scour can have a significant influence on the year-to-year appearance of the vegetation, which tends to be sparse. This vegetation often occurs in nearly pure stands of <i>Schoenoplectus pungens</i> but can be intermixed with <i>Spartina alterniflora</i> or <i>Spartina cynosuroides</i> in more brackish areas. Species diversity tends to be low due to winter storm scour, but associates can include <i>Amaranthus cannabinus, Polygonum punctatum, Cyperus bipartitus</i>, and <i>Bidens</i> spp. <i>Sagittaria graminea, Sagittaria latifolia, Eleocharis palustris, Gratiola virginiana, Elatine americana, Isoetes riparia</i>, and <i>Cyperus bipartitus</i> can occur, but are absent in the northern part of the range. As the salinity decreases <i>Zizania aquatica</i> can also be an associate.
