Name: Typha latifolia - Schoenoplectus spp. Western Boreal Marsh Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: Stands of this marsh alliance tend to be of low plant diversity with only species of <i>Typha</i> or <i>Scirpus</i> and/or <i>Schoenoplectus</i> dominant, although the two often occur together, with few other species, including <i>Lemna</i> spp., <i>Carex utriculata</i>, and others. Bulrush and cattail marshes occur throughout the boreal and boreal transition of Alaska, British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, and south into northern Idaho, Montana, North Dakota and Minnesota. Stands occur on wave-exposed lake-embayments with water movement, grassland potholes, and roadside ditches. Stands have occasional substrate exposure which allows for aeration and limits organic accumulation. They are generally flooded and emergent most of the growing season, but often experience wide water level fluctuations seasonally. Open water is often adjacent.
