Name: South American Temperate Interior Brackish Marsh Macrogroup
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This macrogroup includes hygro-halophilous communities of saline depressions, arroyo banks and flooding alluvial fans of the semi-deserts of the Monte biogeographic region in Argentina. It also includes communities at the margins of depressions of saline endorheic basins of the Espinal and the semi-arid Pampa. Both occur under xeric conditions but with less extreme xeric conditions in the latter. These communities are dominated by <i>Distichlis scoparia, Distichlis spicata, Heterostachys ritteriana, Juncus acutus</i>, and <i>Spartina densiflora</i>. In contrast, for the hygro-halophilous communities of the Monte and northern Patagonia, common taxa are <i>Heterostachys ritteriana, Allenrolfea vaginata, Suaeda divaricata, Plectrocarpa tetracantha, Maytenus vitis-idaea, Prosopis sericantha, Atriplex lampa, Cortesia cuneifolia, Sarcocornia perennis (= Sarcocornia ambigua), Atriplex rosea, Bassia hyssopifolia</i>, and <i>Halophytum ameghinoi</i>.
