Name: Vallisneria americana Estuarine Bayou Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This association consists of submersed beds of aquatic vegetation dominated by Vallisneria americana in fresh or oligohaline subtidal waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Vallisneria may be intermixed with other aquatic species, especially Ruppia maritima and Zannichellia palustris, as well as Myriophyllum sp. and Najas guadalupensis. This community is found in the upper reaches of most estuarine bayous and creeks flowing into Pascagoula Bay, Biloxi Bay, and St. Louis Bay; it occurs in tributaries of the Pascagoula, as well as in the main channel. It is also found in Graveline and Bangs Bayou in Jackson County, Mississippi. In Louisiana, this species is reported as occurring with Najas guadalupensis and Ruppia in Lake Pontchartrain, Lake Catharine, and Lake Salvador. Vallisneria beds are also reported as occurring in Apalachicola Bay, Florida, under similar environmental conditions as those cited for Mississippi. Myriophyllum sp. may also be a component of this type. In Texas, Vallisneria americana is reported occurring with Ruppia maritima and Najas guadalupensis in fresh oligohaline waters of the upper reaches of Trinity Bay.  Accession Code: VB.CC.26198.VALLISNERIAAMER Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
