Name: Typha (latifolia, angustifolia) Western Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This association is widespread across the western United States and western Great Plains occurring near streams, rivers, and ponds. The soil is flooded or saturated for at least part of the growing season. The alluvial soils have variable textures ranging from sand to clay and usually with a high organic content. The dominant species, <i>Typha latifolia</i> or <i>Typha angustifolia</i>, often forms dense, almost monotypic stands. Other species typical of wetlands may be found in lesser amounts in this community; among these are shallower water emergents such as <i>Carex</i> spp., <i>Eleocharis macrostachya, Eleocharis palustris, Glyceria</i> spp., <i>Juncus balticus, Juncus torreyi, Mentha arvensis, Schoenoplectus acutus</i>, and <i>Veronica</i> spp. In deeper water, <i>Lemna minor, Potamogeton</i> spp., <i>Sagittaria</i> spp., <i>Azolla filiculoides</i>, and other aquatics may be present in trace amounts.
