Name: Pistia stratiotes Permanently Flooded Herbaceous Alliance
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This alliance contains aquatic vegetation dominated by Pistia stratiotes. Other floating plants are often admixed, including Salvinia spp. The hydrology of these sites is usually permanently or semipermanently flooded, although periodic drying can occur. Stands of this alliance consist of floating or rooted (by stranding) aquatic vegetation occurring in slow-moving or stagnant tropical waters, dominated by Pistia stratiotes.
