Name: Eleocharis rostellata - Spartina patens Salt Marsh
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This association is an irregularly flooded oligohaline marsh ranging discontinuously along the coast from Massachusetts to Virginia. It occurs as a narrow band in the transition zone between high salt marsh and salt shrub vegetation. Groundwater seepage dilutes tidal floodwaters. It occurs on peat or muck of variable depth over sand. It is heavily dominated by <i>Eleocharis rostellata</i>, growing in association with <i>Spartina patens, Schoenoplectus pungens, Typha angustifolia, Distichlis spicata, Juncus gerardii, Cladium mariscoides, Eleocharis fallax, Lythrum lineare, Samolus valerandi ssp. parviflorus</i>, and <i>Galium tinctorium</i>, and <i>Centella erecta</i> and <i>Fimbristylis castanea</i> in the southern extent of the range. <i>Glaux maritima</i> occurs in this association on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. <i>Baccharis halimifolia</i> and <i>Iva frutescens</i> can occur sporadically. It is currently described from barrier islands along the Mid- and North Atlantic Coast.
