Spartina pectinata - Tripsacum dactyloides Grassland | NatureServe Biotics 2019
click to update datacart
Name: Spartina pectinata - Tripsacum dactyloides Grassland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: Wetland prairie of Arkansas and probably adjacent states of the Mississippi River Alluvial Plain, West Gulf Coastal Plain and Interior Highlands ecoregions. The vegetation is dominated by <i>Spartina pectinata</i> and <i>Tripsacum dactyloides</i>. Associated species include <i>Cephalanthus occidentalis, Hibiscus lasiocarpos</i>, and others. Soils are hydric. This vegetation occupies swales and streamsides within upland prairies. Frequent fire (1-3 years) is required to maintain herbaceous dominance; otherwise, succession to woody dominance is rapid. Most areas have been lost to drainage and cultivation, but fire suppression may have played a part.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:36487-{AB915C42-C7FB-410A-91ED-39E68EF239DA} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
