CEGL004123 Fuirena scirpoidea - Rhynchospora tracyi Marsh
Type Concept Sentence: No Data Available
Common (Translated Scientific) Name: Southern Umbrella-sedge - Tracy''s Beaksedge Marsh
Colloquial Name: East Gulf Coastal Plain Limesink (Southern Umbrella-sedge - Beaksedge Type)
Hierarchy Level: Association
Type Concept: These emergent zones of Coastal Plain limesink ponds and lakes are dominated by Fuirena scirpoidea and Rhynchospora tracyi. This community may occur as a zonal band of vegetation along certain depressional wetlands primarily in the panhandle of Florida and adjacent Alabama. It is not found on all depressions originating from karstic development, but only those in which limestone is near the surface and not overburdened by deep soils. The presence of Rhynchospora tracyi is believed to be indicative of calcium near the surface.
