Name: Zizania (aquatica, palustris) Marsh
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This wild rice marsh community is found in the upper midwestern United States and adjacent Canada. Stands are found in deeper, sheltered waters of slow-moving streams, protected bays, and flowage lakes, particularly at stream mouths. Water depths generally exceed 0.5 m. Substrate is rich sedimentary peat, or mucky, silty soils. A thick mat of rice stalks often covers the bottom. The marsh is dominated almost entirely by the tall emergent graminoids <i>Zizania aquatica</i> or <i>Zizania palustris</i>. Floating-leaved and submerged aquatic cover can be high, but species composition is variable. Species include <i>Ceratophyllum demersum, Nuphar variegata, Potamogeton natans, Potamogeton zosteriformis, Spirodela polyrrhiza, Utricularia macrorhiza</i>, and others.
