Name: Stuckenia pectinata - Zannichellia palustris Herbaceous Vegetation
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This pondweed wetland community is found in the glacial ponds of the Northern Great Plains of the United States and Canada. Stands occur in permanently flooded basins that are 15-100 cm deep, and moderately brackish to brackish. Vegetation is dominated by aquatic macrophytes. In Montana, Zannichellia palustris is dominant in all stands; Stuckenia pectinata (= Potamogeton pectinatus) is present in some stands. The macroalgae Chara sp. may also be present. In North Dakota, Zannichellia palustris, Stuckenia pectinata and Chara share dominance; Ranunculus aquatilis and Myriophyllum sibiricum (= Myriophyllum exalbescens) are secondary species.
