Name: Nuphar lutea ssp. advena Tidal Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Eastern Ecology Working Group of... Description: This association comprises submerged freshwater tidal mud flats of coastal rivers along the Atlantic coast that are dominated by Nuphar lutea ssp. advena. This association occurs at low elevations within freshwater tidal marshes, within tidal range but beyond the influence of salinity. It generally occurs below mean low water level where water depth is approximately 1-3 m or less. It receives a relatively long duration of flooding and is infrequently exposed at only the lowest tides. The association occurs on unconsolidated tidal mud flats and submerged point bars of large coastal river meanders adjacent to open water of river or tidal creek channels. Substrate is silty alluvial mud that is high in organic matter content. Vegetation of this association is characterized by large clonal stands of dense leafy forbs dominated by Nuphar lutea ssp. advena. Associated species tend to occur as scattered individuals and include Peltandra virginica, which can also be locally codominant, Pontederia cordata, Zizania aquatica, Sagittaria latifolia, Bidens laevis, Acorus calamus, and/or Schoenoplectus fluviatilis. Nuphar lutea ssp. advena forms nearly monotypic stands early in the growing season. Associated species emerge later in the season and can eventually overtop Nuphar plants, which senesce and tend to become insect-infested in late summer. Submerged aquatic species can occur in this association, including Potamogeton epihydrus, Ceratophyllum demersum, and the invasive exotic Hydrilla verticillata.  Accession Code: VB.CC.25134.NUPHARLUTEASSPA Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
