CEGL002275 Distichlis spicata - Spartina spp. Wet Meadow
Type Concept Sentence: No Data Available
Common (Translated Scientific) Name: Saltgrass - Cordgrass species Wet Meadow
Colloquial Name: Saltgrass - Cordgrass Saline Prairie
Hierarchy Level: Association
Type Concept: This is a southern type of saline prairie, presumed to have significant floristic differences from related associations to the north, although these are insufficiently documented to be described here. Stands are presumably dominated by Distichlis spicata and Spartina spp. More information is needed on the range and floristics of this association, which would be expected to range from the Crosstimbers and Southern Tallgrass Prairie region of Texas possibly south into equivalent areas of Mexico.
Diagnostic Characteristics: No Data Available
Rationale for Nominal Species or Physiognomic Features: No Data Available
Classification Comments: This type is thought to be absent from the Coastal Prairies and Marshes region of Texas.
