Name: Zostera marina Permanently Flooded - Tidal Herbaceous Alliance Reference: Eastern Ecology Working Group of... Description: This alliance includes subtidal aquatic beds characterized by Zostera marina. These communities usually occur in quiet waters below the lowest tide level and where fluctuations in salinity are minor. Substrate ranges from soft mud to coarse sand. Light availability is the primary limiting factor in occurrences of this alliance, within the geographic, temperature, and salinity range (10-30 ppt) of Zostera marina. The long leaves of Zostera marina provide substrate for epiphytic organisms such as macroalgae, bay scallops, and other marine invertebrates, as well as nursery and/or adult habitat for fin fish. Characteristic associate nonvascular plants (algae) include Ulva lactuca, Enteromorpha spp., and Polysiphonia spp.  Accession Code: VB.CC.22657.ZOSTERAMARINAPE Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
