Name: A.1745
Reference: EcoArt 2002
Description: This alliance consists of ruderal vegetation dominated by the invasive alien ~Hydrilla verticillata$. It may occur in both natural and man-made lakes. ~Hydrilla verticillata$ is an invasive alien species. Since its introduction, it has rapidly spread across the southeastern United States, its spread into man-made lakes being exacerbated by the transport of propagules on boat propellers. It produces vegetative propagules known as turions, which can resist desiccation for long periods of time.
