Name: Fimbristylis castanea - Schoenoplectus pungens Coastal Marsh Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: These wetlands of southeastern coastal areas from Delaware to Texas are dominated or codominated by <i>Fimbristylis castanea</i> and <i>Schoenoplectus pungens</i> which often occur in interdune swales. Diagnostic species are <i>Eleocharis</i> spp., <i>Fimbristylis castanea, Juncus</i> spp., and <i>Schoenoplectus pungens</i> and <i>Spartina patens</i> (in interdunal swales). The general aspect and species composition of this vegetation are variable, not only among occurrences, but also over the course of the growing season. When <i>Schoenoplectus pungens</i> is not dense, it is most often associated with an even mixture of <i>Spartina patens</i> or <i>Fimbristylis castanea</i>. Other herbs are sparse and contribute very little to the overall vegetative cover. There is usually standing water present in these swales in the spring.
