Name: Stuckenia pectinata - Potamogeton perfoliatus - (Zannichellia palustris) Tidal Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Eastern Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This type includes vegetation of shallow subtidal fresh to slightly brackish water and mud or sand sediments exposed at extreme low tide occurring along the mid- and north Atlantic coast. Common and dominant species include Stuckenia pectinata (= Potamogeton pectinatus), Zannichellia palustris, Vallisneria americana, Najas guadalupensis, Elodea nuttallii, and Ceratophyllum demersum. Ruppia maritima may occur sporadically, but it is more prevalent in brackish and saline habitats. Invasive exotics often occur in this habitat, including Myriophyllum spicatum and Trapa natans. This association grades almost imperceptibly into brackish/saline aquatic bed vegetation.
