Name: Dulichium arundinaceum - Carex spp. Central Interior Pond Marsh Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This alliance of basins, swales, and pondshores is dominated by <i>Dulichium arundinaceum</i>, a mix of <i>Carex</i> spp., including <i>Carex aquatilis, Carex barrattii, Carex comosa</i>, and <i>Carex joorii</i>, plus other wetland sedges and grasses. Scattered shrubs may be present but are sparse. Typical communities also contain a mix of graminoid herbs, such as low grasses, sedges, and rushes. This alliance occurs in depression ponds and sinkholes in the unglaciated areas of the south-central United States. Communities in this alliance typically occur in basins of porous substrate where the water level drops significantly during dry years. Substrate is variously mucky or sandy.
