Name: Halophila engelmannii Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This association comprises deep-water seagrass communities dominated by Halophila engelmannii, generally with no other vascular plants present, although various algae are often present. As a species Halophila engelmannii occurs in many seagrass communities, but only dominates at greater depths. This vegetation occurs primarily in low wave energy situations, typically at depths of from 6-20 m, although examples along the Texas coast occur in shallower situations (>107 cm).
