Name: Eleocharis cellulosa - (Rhynchospora tracyi) Seasonally Flooded Herbaceous Alliance
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This alliance consists of vegetation of freshwater lakes dominated and characterized by Eleocharis cellulosa. Overall cover of vascular plants is sometimes sparse. Eleocharis cellulosa may be nearly monospecific, or may be codominated by Rhynchospora tracyi or Eleocharis elongata, and intermixed with other species, including Rhynchospora inundata, Hymenocallis latifolia, Crinum americanum, Bacopa caroliniana, and Utricularia gibba (= Utricularia biflora). Algal periphyton consisting of cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) and green algae is often dense and well-developed, especially in sparser associations in the alliance. The algal periphyton breaks down the oolitic substrate and deposits biogenic marl.
