Name: Zizania (aquatica, palustris) Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Midwestern Ecology Working Group... Description: This wild rice marsh community is found in the upper midwestern United States and adjacent Canada. Stands are found in deeper, sheltered waters of slow-moving streams, protected bays, and flowage lakes, particularly at stream mouths. Water depths generally exceed 0.5 m. Substrate is rich sedimentary peat, or mucky, silty soils. A thick mat of rice stalks often covers the bottom. The marsh is dominated almost entirely by the tall emergent graminoids Zizania aquatica or Zizania palustris. Floating-leaved and submerged aquatic cover can be high, but species composition is variable. Species include Ceratophyllum demersum, Nuphar lutea ssp. variegata, Potamogeton natans, Potamogeton zosteriformis, Spirodela polyrrhiza, Utricularia macrorhiza (= Utricularia vulgaris), and others.  Accession Code: VB.CC.21954.ZIZANIAAQUATICA Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
