Name: A.1708
Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: Tidal mudflats dominated by ~Nuphar lutea$. This alliance includes vegetation of freshwater tidal rivers where the water depth is approximately 2-3 m or less. ~Nuphar lutea$ and ~Nymphaea odorata$ are dominant; these species quickly spread from their rhizomes and shade out other vegetation. Other species may include ~Potamogeton epihydrus, Peltandra virginica, Nymphoides cordata$, and ~Zizania aquatica$. In Delaware, this alliance occurs in nearly pure stands below mean low water on mudflats that are exposed at low tide and on the submerged point bars of stream meanders.
