Name: Fontinalis antipyretica (var. antipyretica, var. oregonensis) Nonvascular Aquatic Vegetation Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This aquatic association is currently only described from the Oregon but is also reported to occur in Washington. Additional global information will be added as it becomes available. Habitat is seasonally or perennially flooded pools, ponds, and sloughs. <i>Fontinalis antipyretica</i> usually forms extensive submerged beds that tolerate both perennial submergence or seasonal exposure. Beds may be 60-90 cm (2-3 feet) thick when submerged, and dry down to a 15-cm thick turf if the pool loses all its water in summer. Although this association is represented by only one plot and is obviously undersampled, it is widespread in the region. The plot data here represent a perennially flooded pool with a cover of only 10% but covers of 80-100% are the norm. There is no evidence that this association increases under eutrophic conditions, and only a few stands have been observed that would approach these conditions. Most occur in clean, cold, slow- or non-flowing water. This association provides important cover for the federally-listed Oregon chub (<i>Oregonichthys crameri</i>). <i>Fontinalis neomexicana</i> is a related species that occurs in cold flowing water in both streams and fens or flush rivulets.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:32187-{61ED86E7-90E5-476E-B297-32929F300CFE} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
