Name: Eleocharis macrostachya Marsh
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This wetland community is known throughout cismontane California from the Central Valley, Central and South Coast Ranges, to the upper montane in the Sierra Nevada. It is a small-patch wetland type that is often overlooked. It occurs on wet and saturated areas that do not dry out during the growing season, except in vernal pool situations. Stands are dominated by <i>Eleocharis macrostachya</i>. These are dense, low to moderately tall, forb and graminoid communities. Forb cover can be quite high, and a mixture of forbs will infrequently dominate the community. However, it is the cover of <i>Eleocharis macrostachya</i>, which typically exceeds 50%, that distinguishes this community from others with high forb cover.
