click to update datacart
Name: Panicum virgatum Coastal Wet Meadow Alliance Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This alliance encompasses seasonally flooded basins from coastal Massachusetts south to northern coastal Virginia dominated by <i>Panicum virgatum</i>. This vegetation occurs in interdunal wetland depressions, as well as deeper wetland basins in regions underlain by morainal deposits. Associated species in the maritime examples include <i>Carex albolutescens, Eleocharis palustris, Euthamia caroliniana, Euthamia graminifolia, Festuca rubra, Juncus canadensis, Linum medium, Solidago sempervirens, Spartina patens, Thelypteris palustris</i>, and <i>Toxicodendron radicans</i>. This alliance includes larger interdunal depressions (up to one-half hectare). Soils are characterized by a shallow organic layer (usually a few centimeters in depth) overlying loamy sand or sand. The water table is at or close to the surface in the spring. These depressions are saturated or seasonally flooded and somewhat poorly drained. Other habitats include seasonally flooded basins landward of maritime backdunes.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:38872-{E6E685F0-59F9-4E31-91E2-D50D1DBE1248} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
