Name: Stuckenia pectinata - Potamogeton perfoliatus - (Zannichellia palustris) Tidal Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Eastern Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This type includes vegetation of shallow subtidal fresh to slightly brackish water and mud or sand sediments exposed at extreme low tide occurring along the mid- and north Atlantic coast. Common and dominant species include <i>Stuckenia pectinata (= Potamogeton pectinatus), Zannichellia palustris, Vallisneria americana, Najas guadalupensis, Elodea nuttallii</i>, and <i>Ceratophyllum demersum</i>. <i>Ruppia maritima</i> may occur sporadically, but it is more prevalent in brackish and saline habitats. Invasive exotics often occur in this habitat, including <i>Myriophyllum spicatum</i> and <i>Trapa natans</i>. This association grades almost imperceptibly into brackish/saline aquatic bed vegetation.
