Name: Equisetum fluviatile - (Eleocharis palustris) Marsh
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This low graminoid marsh community is found in the subboreal regions of the Great Lakes and perhaps more widely in eastern Canada. Stands occur in wave-washed shores, sandbars, and stream channels. Substrate is mineral soil (often sand), sometimes held together by root mats. The water regime is permanently flooded to intermittently exposed, and water depth is generally less than 1 m. A layer of partially decomposed stalks may be present. Emergent cover is greater than 25%, and floating-leaved and submergent cover is low. Emergents &lt;1 m high dominate the stands, including <i>Equisetum fluviatile</i> and/or <i>Eleocharis palustris</i>. Associated species of low constancy include <i>Glyceria borealis, Isoetes tenella, Potamogeton gramineus</i>, and <i>Utricularia macrorhiza</i>.
