Name: Nuphar lutea Tidal Herbaceous Alliance
Reference: Eastern Ecology Working Group of...
Description: Tidal mudflats dominated by Nuphar lutea. This alliance includes vegetation of freshwater tidal rivers where the water depth is approximately 2-3 m or less. Nuphar lutea and Nymphaea odorata are dominant; these species quickly spread from their rhizomes and shade out other vegetation. Other species may include Potamogeton epihydrus, Peltandra virginica, Nymphoides cordata, and Zizania aquatica. In Delaware, this alliance occurs in nearly pure stands below mean low water on mudflats that are exposed at low tide and on the submerged point bars of stream meanders.
