Name: Eleocharis obtusa - Eragrostis hypnoides Intertidal Mudflat Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This is an herbaceous alliance dominated by graminoid species such as <i>Eleocharis obtusa</i> and <i>Eragrostis hypnoides</i>. The alliance is strictly herbaceous and dominated by low and prostrate graminoids, i.e., species that tolerate early-season flooding and summer drying that exposes mudflats with subirrigation. These occur on mudflats around wetlands that are seasonally flooded and subirrigated in the western U.S. These low-elevation (&lt;1000 m [3280 feet]) marshes and mudflats occur along low-gradient streams, shallow ponds, and depressional wetlands. Soil is seasonally flooded to perennially saturated silt loam to clay.
