Name: Myriophyllum sibiricum - Myriophyllum hippuroides Aquatic Vegetation Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This alliance consists of floating aquatic vegetation dominated by <i>Myriophyllum sibiricum</i> sometimes in concentric rings of <i>Schoenoplectus tabernaemontani, Carex</i> spp., and <i>Salix</i> species. Ponds typically have concentric rings, or zones of vegetation, with <i>Myriophyllum sibiricum</i> occupying the deepest portion of relatively shallow ponds. Total canopy coverage on the water surface may be as little as 5%, but more typically it falls in the 40-80% range. It occurs in small ponds typically less than 200 square meters in size and no more than 1-2 m deep. It occurs from sea level to 2600 m (8300 feet) in elevation. Water can be quite saline and the plants heavily encrusted with lime salts.
