Name: Cladium mariscoides - Rhynchospora alba Coastal Fen & Wet Meadow Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This alliance includes graminoid wet meadows ("savannas") in saturated wetland conditions near water, such as rivers, streams and creeks as well as a sea-level fens influenced occasionally by tidewater. These habitats are characterized by <i>Cladium mariscoides</i> and <i>Rhynchospora alba</i>, and sometimes with <i>Drosera intermedia, Eleocharis rostellata, Lophiola aurea, Muhlenbergia torreyana, Muhlenbergia uniflora</i>, and <i>Panicum rigidulum var. pubescens</i>. Pine Barrens riverside sedge savanna is limited to the New Jersey Pine Barrens. The similar vegetation of fresh groundwater seepage sea-level fens occurs along the ecotone between upland/wetland and salt marsh in mid-Atlantic coastal areas.
