Name: Eriocaulon aquaticum Sparse Vegetation Reference: Eastern Ecology Working Group of... Description: These sparsely vegetated, shallow, open-water marshes are found on sandy wave-washed shores or rocky oligotrophic lakes. The substrate is usually sandy or gravelly, but may be mucky. Water depths are typically less than 0.5 m, but the vegetation may extend into somewhat deeper waters as well. They are dominated by plants growing as basal rosettes with leaves resistant to wave energy. Characteristic species include Eriocaulon aquaticum, Lobelia dortmanna, and Isoetes spp. Associated species include Utricularia resupinata, Heteranthera dubia (= Zosterella dubia), Brasenia schreberi, Littorella uniflora, and Subularia aquatica. Floating-leaved plants such as Brasenia schreberi may be present but are typically at low cover.  Accession Code: VB.CC.24276.ERIOCAULONAQUAT Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
