Name: Zizania texana - Potamogeton illinoensis Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Southeastern Ecology Working Gro...
Description: This narrowly endemic community occurs in a several-kilometer stretch of the spring-fed, calcareous waters of the San Marcos River, Texas. <i>Zizania texana</i> is dominant, but beds of various emergent, floating, and submersed aquatics are intermixed, including <i>Potamogeton illinoensis, Ludwigia palustris, Sparganium americanum, Hydrilla verticillata</i> (exotic), <i>Egeria densa</i> (exotic), <i>Sagittaria</i> sp., and filamentous green algae. This community is threatened by exotic species, changes in hydrology (related to groundwater pumping), sedimentation, and recreation.
