Type Concept Sentence: No Data Available
Common (Translated Scientific) Name: Cladium mariscoides - Panicum rigidulum var. pubescens Fen
Colloquial Name: Pine Barrens Streamside Twigrush Savanna
Hierarchy Level: Association
Type Concept: This herbaceous community occurs in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey on the floodplains of Outer Coastal Plain rivers and streams. It is often found in wet linear or broad depressions that are part of a mosaic of herbaceous and woody herbaceous riverside savanna. This community is stable in perennial seepage channels and successional in historically disturbed sites that were mined for bog iron and currently low enough in elevation to be backflooded by river water. Substrate is iron-rich muck. Dominant species are Cladium mariscoides and Panicum rigidulum var. pubescens. Associated woody species include Acer rubrum saplings and Vaccinium macrocarpon. Associated herbaceous species include Oclemena nemoralis, Dichanthelium scabriusculum, Drosera intermedia, Dulichium arundinaceum, Eleocharis tuberculosa, Eriocaulon aquaticum, Eriocaulon decangulare, Euthamia caroliniana, Glyceria obtusa, Juncus canadensis, Juncus militaris, Lobelia canbyi, Lophiola aurea, Lycopus amplectens, Lysimachia terrestris, Muhlenbergia torreyana, Panicum virgatum, Rhynchospora alba, Triadenum virginicum, Viola lanceolata, and Woodwardia virginica.
