| Impact ID | 8959 |
| Impact Type | Habitat Alteration |
| Study Type | Anecdotal |
| Study Location | N/A |
| Impact Description | Dense root and rhizome mats from Typha angustifolia produce a thick layer of litter that prohibits the growth of many other plant species. Stable water levels and stands of dead stems result in litter accumulation, which can alter nutrient levels and species diversity in benthic communities. |
