Name: Spartina alterniflora - Lilaeopsis chinensis Salt Marsh Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This association is a brackish, mid-tidal low marsh of larger tidal rivers along the mid- and north Atlantic coast. <i>Spartina alterniflora</i> is dominant, but occurs with various mixtures of species such as <i>Bolboschoenus robustus, Schoenoplectus pungens</i>, and <i>Spartina cynosuroides</i>, which may be locally prominent, especially as salinity decreases. Characteristic species in addition to <i>Spartina alterniflora</i> include <i>Lilaeopsis chinensis, Bolboschoenus robustus, Polygonum punctatum</i>, and <i>Eleocharis parvula</i>. Associated species that occur in low abundance can include <i>Amaranthus cannabinus, Atriplex prostrata, Typha angustifolia, Bolboschoenus maritimus, Eleocharis halophila, Samolus valerandi ssp. parviflorus, Sagittaria calycina</i>, and <i>Crassula aquatica</i>. Freshwater species increase as salinity decreases, such as <i>Peltandra virginica, Bolboschoenus fluviatilis, Sagittaria latifolia, Leersia oryzoides</i>, and <i>Pontederia cordata</i>. Substrate is mud or muddy, fibrous peat.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:33035-{DD814063-AACF-4650-9DF7-ACAF381B0537} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 5
