CEGL006403 Lythrum salicaria Ruderal Marsh
Type Concept Sentence: No Data Available
Common (Translated Scientific) Name: Purple Loosestrife Ruderal Marsh
Colloquial Name: Ruderal Purple Loosestrife Marsh
Hierarchy Level: Association
Type Concept: This association consists of wetlands heavily invaded by Lythrum salicaria with few or no species indicating the former more native association analog. Lythrum makes up at least 75% of the vegetation cover and may approach 100%. The sparse associates include common wetland plants such as Impatiens capensis, Onoclea sensibilis, Thelypteris palustris, Carex stricta, and Typha spp. Shrubs are sparse or absent.
Diagnostic Characteristics: No Data Available
Rationale for Nominal Species or Physiognomic Features: No Data Available
Classification Comments: This association is reserved for areas strongly dominated by Lythrum salicaria and consequently without a suite of associated species that indicate the native community that formerly occupied the site.
