Name: River Valley Impoundment Mudflat Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This association represents shoreline vegetation typical of large mainstream and tributary reservoirs in western Tennessee and adjacent areas. This type occurs on sites which are subject to high water levels and complete inundation for much of the year, but that are drawn down in the early to mid summer. Lake margins with suitable substrate (generally silt or clay) are colonized by a variety of plant species adapted to intermittent inundation and saturated soils that are capable of completing their life cycle in a compressed growing season between drawdown and frost. The composition and structure of the vegetation are highly variable among locations and from year to year. In general, a number of short-statured annuals are characteristic, including <i>Rotala ramosior, Lindernia dubia, Fimbristylis autumnalis, Eragrostis hypnoides, Lipocarpha micrantha, Eleocharis obtusa, Fimbristylis littoralis</i>, and others. Several perennial species may also be encountered, especially along the upper edges and boundaries of mudflats. Species can include <i>Alternanthera philoxeroides, Symphyotrichum lanceolatum var. lanceolatum, Juncus acuminatus, Justicia americana, Leersia oryzoides, Ludwigia</i> spp., <i>Panicum rigidulum</i>, and others.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:32895-{541C4090-3805-4301-9DE1-56084A0FC0C9} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
