Marshes dominated by Typha angustifolia occur in the littoral zones of fishponds, flooded sand pits and pools in stone quarries, oxbows in early stages of terrestrialization, ditches and lentic sections of rivers. These wetlands are usually mesotrophic to naturally eutrophic, with water 20–60(–100) cm deep. T. angustifolia is typical of early successional habitats with mineral substrate on the bottom and it usually disappears as organic sediment accumulates. It occurs in lowlands and colline areas throughout the Czech Republic, with rare occurrences in submontane areas.
