Type Concept Sentence: No Data Available
Common (Translated Scientific) Name: Western Water-milfoil Aquatic Vegetation
Colloquial Name: No Data Available
Hierarchy Level: Association
Type Concept: This community type occurs in the surge plain and overflow plain segments of the Columbia River and throughout the interior valleys west of the Cascade Range in Oregon and Washington. It occurs within the tidal zone and in ponds and lakes with little or no water circulation. In ponds and lakes, the community type is submerged year-round or until late summer when some of the ponds dry out. Soils are muds and silts. This community type is dense, nearly monotypic mats of Myriophyllum hippuroides. Additional taxa include Alisma plantago-aquatica, Elodea canadensis, Ludwigia palustris, Nuphar polysepala, Paspalum distichum, Polygonum hydropiperoides, Polygonum amphibium, Sagittaria latifolia, Schoenoplectus tabernaemontani, and Sparganium emersum.
