Name: Eleocharis palustris - Eleocharis rostellata Alkaline-Saline Marsh Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This herbaceous wetland alliance occurs in shallow, mostly still water. The vegetation is characterized by a sparse to dense herbaceous layer that is dominated or codominated by <i>Eleocharis palustris</i>, a facultative wetland species, or <i>Eleocharis rostellata</i>. Other salt-tolerant species may also be present to codominant, such as <i>Carex aquatilis, Distichlis spicata, Glaux maritima, Juncus arcticus ssp. littoralis</i>, and <i>Muhlenbergia asperifolia</i>. Stands occur adjacent to salt waterbodies or on the margins of high-evaporation playas. Surface water, if present, is highly saline and may or may not be present during the entire growing season. Known locations are near the Great Salt Lake, playas, and springs of the central Intermountain West.
