Name: Eleocharis palustris Great Plains Marsh Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: Medium-tall graminoids make up the bulk of the vegetation of this alliance, though forbs can be locally abundant. Dominant species vary but <i>Eleocharis palustris</i> is usually common to dominant. Other common species include <i>Eleocharis compressa, Hordeum jubatum, Leptochloa fusca ssp. fascicularis, Polygonum pensylvanicum, Schoenoplectus pungens</i>, and <i>Spartina pectinata</i>. Stands are flooded for part of the growing season but dry out by mid to late summer. Where sites dry out during the growing season, annuals may become abundant later in the year. This herbaceous wetland alliance is found in the central and southern Great Plains, and possibly northern Great Plains.
