Name: Pampean Freshwater Marsh, Wet Meadow & Shrubland Macrogroup
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: The macrogroup represents grasslands of the Argentinian and Uruguayan Pampas, and the floodplains of the Argentinian Mesopotamia region, located in the topographical depressions or areas subject to river overflow and/or poorly drained precipitation that remain waterlogged for several months. Generally formed by tall grasses 1.5-3 m high growing on clayish or sandy-clayish soils. Diagnostic species are <i>Cortaderia selloana, Hymenachne grumosa, Andropogon lateralis ssp. lateralis, Paspalum durifolium, Paspalum quadrifarium, Paspalum</i> spp., and <i>Saccharum</i> spp. The macrogroup also includes the marshes of the lower Parana River floodplain which remain permanently waterlogged. Related to the length and depth of the flooding period, there is a zonation of the palustrine communities, characterized by different species of <i>Polygonum</i> and <i>Typha</i>, in addition to <i>Schoenoplectus californicus, Zizaniopsis bonariensis, Schoenoplectus californicus</i>, and <i>Ludwigia peploides</i>.
