Name:
Fimbristylis castanea - Eleocharis spp. - Fuirena scirpoidea Coastal Interdunal Marsh & Prairie Group
Reference:
NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description:
This group occurs in coastal interdunal swales, interdunal depressions or poorly drained wet coastal flats. These are graminoid-dominated wetlands; dominant graminoid species can include <i>Andropogon brachystachyus, Carex hyalinolepis, Cladium mariscus ssp. jamaicense, Eleocharis elongata, Eleocharis equisetoides, Eleocharis quadrangulata, Fimbristylis caroliniana, Fimbristylis castanea, Fuirena scirpoidea, Leptochloa fusca ssp. fascicularis, Muhlenbergia filipes, Panicum hemitomon, Panicum tenerum, Paspalum vaginatum, Rhynchospora</i> spp., <i>Spartina patens, Schoenoplectus pungens</i>, and <i>Typha domingensis</i>. These are not tidally influenced, but may be subject to salt or brackish water from storm surge events. The vegetation may range from open water or floating-leaved aquatics in the center of the deepest interdunal depressions, to emergent marsh zones in semipermanent water, to shallower drawdown zones with diverse graminoid and forb vegetation. Wet coastal prairie vegetation is found on wet coastal flats and consists of primarily herbaceous wetland vegetation with a relatively thick cover of graminoid herbs.
