Name: Eastern North American Inland Saline Marsh Group Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This inland salt marsh group occurs in just a few known locations in Virginia, New York, Michigan, and Illinois. Total vegetation cover is sparse to open in Great Lakes area stands but dense in Virginia. Stands are dominated by medium and tall herbaceous species tolerant of the saline conditions, typically including <i>Alisma subcordatum, Atriplex patula, Eleocharis parvula, Hordeum jubatum, Juncus gerardii, Salicornia depressa, Bolboschoenus maritimus, Bolboschoenus robustus, Spergularia salina</i>, and <i>Sium suave</i>. Shrubs and trees are essentially absent. These salt marshes occur where saline water emerges as spring or seeps, often as pockets within a larger freshwater marsh. Soils can be mineral, muck, or peat.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:40352-{781C2975-97DB-4B86-B410-B973F60B92A1} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
