Name: Myriophyllum sibiricum Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Johnson, K. R. 1939. Plant ecolo... Description: This association has been described from Colorado mountain lakes and ponds, and from the low-elevation Rocky Mountain Front of Alberta in Waterton Lakes National Park. In Colorado it occurs at roughly 2539 m (8300 feet) elevation, while in Alberta it was found from 1280 to 1290 m (4200-4230 feet). This association occurs in small ponds supporting submerged aquatic vegetation, typically less than 200 m2. Depths for most ponds are estimated to be from 1-2 m in the deepest portion. The total cover value for <i>Myriophyllum sibiricum</i> may be as little as 5%, but more typically it falls in the 40-80% range. Water can be quite saline and the plants heavily encrusted with lime salts. Ponds typically have concentric rings, or zones of vegetation, <i>Myriophyllum sibiricum</i> occupying the deepest portion of relatively shallow ponds. Concentric zones include bands of <i>Schoenoplectus tabernaemontani (= Scirpus validus), Carex</i> spp., and <i>Salix</i> spp.  Accession Code: VB.CC.31454.CEGL002000 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
