Name: Spartina spartinae Grassland
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This community occurs on upland flats just above normal tidal reach. <i>Spartina spartinae</i> is typically monodominant, but <i>Setaria parviflora</i> is common and typical and <i>Spartina patens</i> may be locally codominant. Other species include <i>Andropogon glomeratus var. pumilus, Paspalum vaginatum, Spartina patens, Cyperus</i> spp., <i>Lythrum alatum var. lanceolatum, Solidago sempervirens</i>, and <i>Palafoxia texana var. ambigua</i>. Scattered shrubs, such as <i>Iva frutescens, Prosopis glandulosa var. glandulosa</i>, and <i>Baccharis halimifolia</i>, can occur, especially as invaders as the result of grazing and/or fire suppression. In parts of its range, this community covers large expanses, but it also can form a linear fringe above tidal flats and marshes.
