Name:
Beni Flooded Savanna Macrogroup
Reference:
NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description:
This macrogroup represents the several types of flooded savanna of the vast Beni floodplain in Bolivia. The differences in structure and composition of the communities are related with the length of the flooding period, the nature of the flooding waters, as well as the soils or substrate where they grow. In turn, these conditions depend on the topographic and geographic location within the floodplain. Some of the diagnostic species are <i>Paspalum atratum, Paspalum densum, Paspalum acuminatum, Luziola peruviana, Leersia hexandra, Cyperus giganteus, Panicum elephantipes, Oryza latifolia, Hymenachne amplexicaulis, Hymenachne donacifolia, Echinodorus</i> spp., <i>Echinochloa polystachya, Polygonum acuminatum, Polygonum hispidum</i>, and <i>Polygonum punctatum</i>. Communities that also have a woody component may include <i>Erythrina fusca, Machaerium aristulatum, Swartzia jorori, Genipa americana, Alchornea schomburgkii, Buchenavia oxycarpa, Albizia inundata, Crataeva tapia, Eschweilera ovalifolia, Inga pallida, Inga punctata</i>, and <i>Peritassa dulcis</i>.
