Name: Stuckenia pectinata - Zannichellia palustris Permanently Flooded - Tidal Herbaceous Alliance
Reference: Eastern Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This alliance includes shallow subtidal fresh/brackish water and sediments exposed at extreme low tide. It supports a predominance of vascular aquatics such as Stuckenia pectinata (= Potamogeton pectinatus), Potamogeton perfoliatus, Vallisneria americana, Elodea nuttallii, and Zannichellia palustris, and occasionally Ruppia maritima as salinity begins to increase. Communities in this alliance occur in maritime coastal areas from Virginia north to Connecticut and in Louisiana and possibly Texas.
