CEGL004137 Typha domingensis Gulf Coastal Plain Marsh
Type Concept Sentence: No Data Available
Common (Translated Scientific) Name: Southern Cattail Gulf Coastal Plain Marsh
Colloquial Name: Gulf Coastal Plain Southern Cattail Marsh
Hierarchy Level: Association
Type Concept: This broadly defined type represents marshes of the Gulf Coast from Alabama to Texas dominated by the nominal species. It occurs in natural and artificial ponds on the mainland and on barrier islands. Additional types may be developed as more information becomes available.
Diagnostic Characteristics: No Data Available
Rationale for Nominal Species or Physiognomic Features: No Data Available
Classification Comments: Further consideration and data are needed as to whether this association (CEGL004137) and ~Typha domingensis - Setaria magna Marsh (CEGL004138)$$ are distinct from one another. They are maintained as separate at this time because of expected floristic differences, correlated with the different coastal dynamics of the Atlantic and Gulf coasts.
Similar NVC Types: No Data Available
note: No Data Available
Physiognomy and Structure: No Data Available
Floristics: This association typically consists of pure stands of Typha domingensis.
Dynamics: It is expected that this community has different dynamics than ~Typha domingensis - Setaria magna Marsh (CEGL004138)$$, since the Gulf Coast is a more protected coastline, with less energy, except for periodic hurricanes.
Environmental Description: It occurs in natural and artificial ponds on the mainland and on barrier islands.
Geographic Range: This community occurs along the Gulf of Mexico in Alabama, Mississippi, Texas, and possibly Louisiana.
Nations: US
States/Provinces: AL, LA, MS, TX
