Name: Zizania aquatica Tidal Herbaceous Alliance Reference: Eastern Ecology Working Group of... Description: This alliance contains freshwater tidal marshes dominated by tall graminoids. Zizania aquatica is usually dominant or codominant with other graminoids such as Typha angustifolia, Schoenoplectus fluviatilis (= Scirpus fluviatilis), and Sparganium eurycarpum. These marshes typically occur along tidal river systems (in shallow bays, shoals, or at the mouth) within the reach of the tide, but beyond the influence of saline waters. Soils are highly variable and are composed of varying amounts of silts, silty mucks, fine peat, to very coarse sands. Other characteristic species include Sagittaria latifolia, Leersia oryzoides, Amaranthus cannabinus, Impatiens capensis, Bidens bidentoides, Acorus americanus, and Echinochloa walteri. In the Southeast, Zizania aquatica-dominated vegetation occurs primarily as fringing marshes along tidal freshwater rivers. Communities of this alliance occur in Coastal Plain from Maine south and west to Louisiana.  Accession Code: VB.CC.26507.ZIZANIAAQUATICA Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
