Name: Distichlis spicata - Hordeum jubatum - Pascopyrum smithii Great Plains Saline Wet Meadow & Marsh Group Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This group occurs in shallow-sloped basins in the Great Plains that experience seasonal flooding. Stands are dominated by short to medium-tall herbaceous species tolerant of flooding and salinity. The most abundant species at a site typically include <i>Distichlis spicata</i> or <i>Hordeum jubatum</i>. Other common associates or dominants are <i>Atriplex patula, Eleocharis</i> spp., <i>Poa arida, Puccinellia nuttalliana, Bolboschoenus maritimus, Schoenoplectus pungens, Sporobolus airoides, Suaeda calceoliformis</i>, and <i>Iva annua</i>. Where flooding is less frequent and where salinity is not high, <i>Pascopyrum smithii</i> is often present to dominant. Strongly saline mudflats usually have a high proportion of <i>Salicornia rubra</i>. Soils are saline and create brackish water.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:40077-{9109B98F-A5D2-48A3-889C-073D3C4B3241} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
