Name: Thalassia testudinum Permanently Flooded - Tidal Herbaceous Alliance Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This alliance covers estuarine and marine seagrass beds, dominated or codominated by Thalassia testudinum. Associations of this alliance can be monodominant with Thalassia testudinum, but may also have admixtures of other seagrass species, including Cymodocea filiformis (= Syringodium filiforme) and Halodule beaudettei (= Halodule wrightii). This alliance occurs primarily in shallow waters (primarily 0.4-4 m in depth), of high salinity (greater than 17 ppt), and on coarse-grained sediments. It ranges discontinuously from southern Florida to Mexico along the Gulf Coast of North America, and throughout the Caribbean. In Texas, it occurs primarily south of Aransas Bay, and is most abundant in the Laguna Madre and Corpus Christi Bay areas.  Accession Code: VB.CC.22915.THALASSIATESTUD Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
