Utricularia macrorhiza Aquatic Vegetation | NatureServe Biotics 2019

Name: Utricularia macrorhiza Aquatic Vegetation Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: Habitat is lakes and ponds, usually with perennial water. This is an unrooted aquatic bed association that is widespread in western Oregon, but it has not been sampled and little information is available. <i>Utricularia macrorhiza</i> is insectivorous and characterized by its large bladders blackened with the remains of aquatic invertebrates. It forms sparse to dense masses of nearly monotypic submerged vegetation with cover ranging from 40-95%. It provides important habitat for aquatic invertebrates and fish. It is the most common <i>Utricularia</i> at lower elevations and the only one to form extensive stands, but it is not as common as some other aquatic bed associations. It is not clear if this association favors eutrophic conditions or may be enhanced by enriched runoff in agricultural or urban landscapes.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:32192-{FD60A162-636E-46A4-BC2D-E7947AC42186} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
