Name: Eichhornia crassipes - Alternanthera philoxeroides - Trapa natans Ruderal Freshwater Aquatic Vegetation Group
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This ruderal aquatic vegetation occurs in freshwater wetlands of lakes, rivers, and ponds, in areas which are permanently or semipermanently flooded. The dominant growth forms are floating, rooting and submersed aquatic vegetation. The most common species include the exotics <i>Alternanthera philoxeroides, Eichhornia crassipes, Ludwigia peploides, Pistia stratiotes</i>, and <i>Salvinia molesta</i> in warm-temperate regions. In cool-temperate regions, <i>Myriophyllum spicatum, Hydrocharis morsus-ranae</i>, and <i>Trapa natans</i> are locally common. These exotic species can spread vigorously and form extensive mats that cover the surface or submersed areas of the water.
