CEGL003309 Schoenoplectus subterminalis Aquatic Vegetation
Type Concept Sentence: No Data Available
Common (Translated Scientific) Name: Swaying Bulrush Aquatic Vegetation
Colloquial Name: No Data Available
Hierarchy Level: Association
Type Concept: This community type is found in the western and southwestern portions of the northern Puget Trough lowlands of Washington. It occurs in very shallow permanent ponds, most frequently where there is large annual water level fluctuation. It occupies the landwardmost permanently flooded zone. Substrates are muck, fibrous peat, or a mixture of fibrous and sphagnum peat. The community type is dominated by Schoenoplectus subterminalis. Other species include Dulichium arundinaceum, Nuphar polysepala, Torreyochloa pallida var. pauciflora, and Utricularia macrorhiza. It often intergrades with a waterward Nuphar polysepala community type.
