Name: Inland Mud Lakeshore Alliance Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This lake mudflats alliance comprises a single broadly defined and broadly ranging association characterized by dryland forms of aquatic plants. These aquatics include <i>Heteranthera</i> spp., <i>Nuphar, Nymphaea</i> spp., <i>Polygonum amphibium</i>, and <i>Potamogeton</i> spp. As the vegetation matures over the summer and early fall, graminoids or forbs may become dominant, including species of <i>Cyperus, Juncus, Polygonum</i>, and <i>Schoenoplectus</i>. This alliance ranges broadly from the midwestern to eastern United States. Stands occur in shallow basins or lake margins that flood in the spring and draw down later in the season, exposing wet, muddy sediments on which plant species subsequently grow. Substrates include silt and clay mixed with marl or sedimentary peats composed of plant and animal residues precipitated from standing water.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:38910-{469C746C-8864-4220-B534-71F2980FCA22} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
