Panicum hemitomon Floating Marsh Alliance | NatureServe Biotics 2019

Name: Panicum hemitomon Floating Marsh Alliance Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: These flotant marshes are dominated by <i>Panicum hemitomon</i> or <i>Morella cerifera</i>. These marshes are primarily freshwater, and may be tidal in some areas. This is a very common fresh marsh type of the Chenier and Deltaic plains of Louisiana and the upper coast of Texas. Spikerush marshes, dominated by <i>Eleocharis baldwinii</i> and <i>Hydrocotyle</i> spp., are also included here. The shrub-dominated version of this marsh apparently arises from woody plant succession in the <i>Panicum hemitomon</i>-dominated marshes in the absence of fire. As the shrubs develop and mature, they weigh down the floating peat mat, submerging it and eventually killing the shrubs.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:38798-{54615B33-9E94-4A86-B46A-55E1043626F2} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
