Name: Spartina bakeri Coastal Marsh Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This alliance consists of seasonally flooded graminoid wetlands with substantial cover of or dominated by <i>Spartina bakeri</i>. Seasonally flooded coastal interdunal swales of the Florida peninsula dominated by <i>Spartina bakeri</i> may also contain <i>Muhlenbergia filipes</i> (which may be codominant), <i>Andropogon glomeratus, Aristida</i> sp., <i>Cladium mariscus ssp. jamaicense, Eupatorium mikanioides, Phyla nodiflora, Pluchea rosea, Rhynchospora colorata, Sabatia stellaris, Sagittaria lancifolia</i>, and <i>Setaria magna</i>. Additional herbaceous species in South Carolina <i>Spartina bakeri</i> ponds may include <i>Cyperus odoratus, Hibiscus moscheutos, Juncus effusus, Juncus roemerianus, Panicum virgatum, Saccharum giganteum</i>, and <i>Woodwardia virginica</i>. <i>Hibiscus grandiflorus</i> is reported from some associations. These areas are not tidally flooded, but are apparently maintained as marsh by occasional flooding by brackish water during severe storm tides in hurricane events. These storm flooding events maintain brackish soil conditions.
