Name: Vallisneria americana Estuarine Bayou Aquatic Vegetation Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This association consists of submersed beds of aquatic vegetation dominated by <i>Vallisneria americana</i> in fresh or oligohaline subtidal waters of the Gulf of Mexico. <i>Vallisneria</i> may be intermixed with other aquatic species, especially <i>Ruppia maritima</i> and <i>Zannichellia palustris</i>, as well as <i>Myriophyllum</i> sp. and <i>Najas guadalupensis</i>. This community is found in the upper reaches of most estuarine bayous and creeks flowing into Pascagoula Bay, Biloxi Bay, and St. Louis Bay; it occurs in tributaries of the Pascagoula, as well as in the main channel. It is also found in Graveline and Bangs Bayou in Jackson County, Mississippi. In Louisiana, this species is reported as occurring with <i>Najas guadalupensis</i> and <i>Ruppia</i> in Lake Pontchartrain, Lake Catharine, and Lake Salvador. <i>Vallisneria</i> beds are also reported as occurring in Apalachicola Bay, Florida, under similar environmental conditions as those cited for Mississippi. <i>Myriophyllum</i> sp. may also be a component of this type. In Texas, <i>Vallisneria americana</i> is reported occurring with <i>Ruppia maritima</i> and <i>Najas guadalupensis</i> in fresh oligohaline waters of the upper reaches of Trinity Bay.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:33418-{A46B1759-C847-41B1-B001-428F6F29A943} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
