Name: Myriophyllum sibiricum Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This association has been described from Colorado mountain lakes and ponds, and from the low-elevation Rocky Mountain Front of Alberta in Waterton Lakes National Park. In Colorado it occurs at roughly 2539 m (8300 feet) elevation, while in Alberta it was found from 1280 to 1290 m (4200-4230 feet). This association occurs in small ponds supporting submerged aquatic vegetation, typically less than 200 m2. Depths for most ponds are estimated to be from 1-2 m in the deepest portion. The total cover value for Myriophyllum sibiricum may be as little as 5%, but more typically it falls in the 40-80% range. Water can be quite saline and the plants heavily encrusted with lime salts. Ponds typically have concentric rings, or zones of vegetation, Myriophyllum sibiricum occupying the deepest portion of relatively shallow ponds. Concentric zones include bands of Schoenoplectus tabernaemontani (= Scirpus validus), Carex spp., and Salix spp.
