Name: Hippuris vulgaris Aquatic Vegetation
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: Habitat is shallow depressions and pools in marshes and fens. This association is widespread but uncommon locally. The plots reported here are from the coast and probably do not reflect the range of subordinate species that may be present elsewhere. Stands are often extensive monotypes of <i>Hippuris vulgaris </i>with an average cover of 37% and ranging from 25 to 50%. Most of the remaining cover is open water or mud if water levels drop. Sampled plots contain <i>Cicuta douglasii </i>as an associate, and other species such as <i>Schoenoplectus acutus, Schoenoplectus tabernaemontani</i>, or <i>Potamogeton</i> may be present. Where pools dry up, the substrate remains moist to saturated; <i>Hippuris</i> cannot survive complete desiccation.
