Name: Hippuris vulgaris - Ruppia spp. - Sparganium spp. Aquatic Vegetation Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This alliance consists of aquatic communities in shallow water where <i>Hippuris vulgaris, Ruppia cirrhosa, Ruppia maritima, Sparganium angustifolium, Sparganium eurycarpum</i>, and/or <i>Stuckenia filiformis</i> or any combination of these herbs are dominant. Sites are non-tidal, freshwater to slightly brackish, seasonally or permanently flooded marshes, shallow lakes and ponds. This alliance is restricted to freshwater to brackish non-tidal marshes within low-lying areas of high evaporation where elevations range from sea level to 3700 m. This alliance likely occurs in many parts of lowland and montane elevations of western North America.
