Name: Cymodocea filiformis Permanently Flooded - Tidal Herbaceous Alliance Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro... Description: This seagrass alliance occurs at depths of 1-4 m in warm sea waters (salinity greater than 17 ppt), on a variety of substrate textures. Vegetation in this alliance can consist of monodominant Cymodocea filiformis (= Syringodium filiforme), or can have a mixture of Cymodocea filiformis with other seagrass species, including Thalassia testudinum, Halophila engelmannii, and Halodule beaudettei. These seagrass beds are often also associated with an abundance of macrophytic algae. This alliance ranges discontinuously from Florida to Mexico along the Gulf Coast of North America, throughout the Caribbean, and extends up the Atlantic coast of Florida as far north as the St. Johns River. In Texas, it occurs south of Aransas Bay, and is most abundant in the Laguna Madre and Corpus Christi Bay areas.  Accession Code: VB.CC.26941.CYMODOCEAFILIFO Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
