Name: Zizania aquatica Gulf Coast Tidal Marsh
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This type includes freshwater tidal marshes of the Gulf of Mexico characterized by <i>Zizania aquatica</i>. This vegetation may occur in tidal rivers along the Gulf Coast. This association occurs in the lower reaches of freshwater tidal marshes, in fresh to slightly brackish areas that are low within the marsh and are infrequently exposed at lowest tides. It occurs on alluvial soils that are commonly silts or silty clays, although occasionally have a greater sand component. <i>Zizania aquatica</i> is dominant in stands of this type, although only conspicuously so in mid to late summer, when it overtops the early season vegetation. This community can be codominated by species such as <i>Pontederia cordata, Peltandra virginica, Polygonum</i> spp., and/or <i>Bidens</i> spp. Common associates are generally a mixture of freshwater and brackish species. <i>Nuphar advena</i> is a common associate.
