Name: Carex spp. - Typha latifolia - Schoenoplectus pungens Seep Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: Dominant species of this alliance are a mix of short and tall herbaceous wetland plants. Tall dominants include <i>Schoenoplectus pungens, Schoenoplectus tabernaemontani, Typha latifolia</i>. Short dominants are typically Carices, such as <i>Carex emoryi, Carex hystericina, Carex lurida</i>, and <i>Carex pellita</i>. Shrubs are occasionally present. This alliance is found in the central Great Plains and western tallgrass prairie where mineral-rich groundwater emerges at the surface, typically at the bases of canyons, steep hills, or on floodplain terraces. The soil is saturated for most or all of the growing season. Soils are hydric peat or muck and show evidence of low oxygen availability.
