CEGL003315 Hippuris vulgaris Aquatic Vegetation
Type Concept Sentence: No Data Available
Common (Translated Scientific) Name: Common Mare''s-tail Aquatic Vegetation
Colloquial Name: No Data Available
Hierarchy Level: Association
Type Concept: Habitat is shallow depressions and pools in marshes and fens. This association is widespread but uncommon locally. The plots reported here are from the coast and probably do not reflect the range of subordinate species that may be present elsewhere. Stands are often extensive monotypes of Hippuris vulgaris with an average cover of 37% and ranging from 25 to 50%. Most of the remaining cover is open water or mud if water levels drop. Sampled plots contain Cicuta douglasii as an associate, and other species such as Schoenoplectus acutus, Schoenoplectus tabernaemontani, or Potamogeton may be present. Where pools dry up, the substrate remains moist to saturated; Hippuris cannot survive complete desiccation.
