Name: Bolboschoenus maritimus - Atriplex patula - Eleocharis parvula Saline Marsh Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This inland salt marsh community type is found in scattered locations in the midwestern United States, including Illinois, Michigan, and New York. Stands occur on peat, muck, or mineral soils saturated by sodium- or chlorine-rich groundwater seeping from saline aquifers. These sites are most common along streams or rivers where glacial drift is thin enough to permit brine from deep saline aquifers to remain concentrated and emerge at discrete points. This community is a wetland dominated by tall graminoid plants. The vegetation may be sparse with areas of bare mud. Salt-tolerant species are common in the community. It has a similar environment across its range, but because occurrences are small and widely scattered, each site has a distinct composition. Dominant species vary from marsh to marsh, and eastern sites are richer in halophytic species than western sites. Species that are found across the range of the community are <i>Atriplex patula, Eleocharis parvula, Hibiscus moscheutos</i>, and <i>Bolboschoenus maritimus</i>. In Illinois, <i>Spartina pectinata</i> can be dominant. In Michigan, <i>Symphyotrichum lanceolatum var. lanceolatum, Schoenoplectus americanus</i>, and <i>Typha latifolia</i> tend to be dominants. In New York, other characteristic plants include <i>Agrostis stolonifera, Leptochloa fusca ssp. fascicularis</i>, and <i>Spergularia salina</i>. Species that are found across the range of the community are <i>Atriplex patula, Eleocharis parvula, Hibiscus moscheutos</i>, and <i>Bolboschoenus maritimus</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:33876-{45B35C64-0656-4F93-A860-66483BBFE91B} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
