Name: Stuckenia pectinata - Ruppia maritima Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: This community is found in the northern Great Plains and tallgrass prairie regions in brackish to saline shallow water wetlands or exposed alkali saltflats. These wetlands maintain surface water for a period of a few weeks or more during the growing season. A high evaporation-precipitation ratio contributes to the concentration of dissolved salts in these wetlands. The high salinity of these wetlands excludes many plant species. Stuckenia pectinata (= Potamogeton pectinatus) and Ruppia maritima frequently form dense beds of floating and submerged vegetation. Other species may include Zannichellia palustris, Stuckenia vaginata (= Potamogeton vaginatus), and Chara spp. Within some wetlands with extremely high salinity, Ruppia maritima may be the only species found.  Accession Code: VB.CC.21418.STUCKENIAPECTIN Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
