click to update datacart
Name: Nuphar polysepala Western Aquatic Vegetation Alliance Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This alliance is composed of floating aquatic herbaceous vegetation where <i>Nuphar polysepala</i> is often the only species present. Cover is continuous, intermittent or open. Other aquatic and emergent herbs present may include species of <i>Carex, Eleocharis, Equisetum, Glyceria, Lemna, Menyanthes, Potamogeton</i>, and <i>Typha</i>. Many of these associates are in shallower, adjacent water. It occurs on permanently flooded ponds, lakes, deeper beaver ponds, and glacial kettle lakes, from sea level to 2410 m (7900 feet) in elevation. Soils are usually organic Histosols, on anoxic muck or peat. Water depths range from 40 to 200 cm (1.25-6.5 feet). Stands can completely fill smaller ponds, or occurrences may be only as large as the water depth allows, and are part of a larger mosaic of other freshwater emergent marsh communities.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:39136-{FF978465-BCBE-4B1E-AFBE-727DA35604D2} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
