Name: Elodea canadensis - Potamogeton spp. Eastern Herbaceous Vegetation Reference: Eastern Ecology Working Group of... Description: This is a broadly conceived type that encompasses northeastern aquatic vegetation found in higher pH waters. The dominants are usually submerged macrophytes or floating-leaved pondweeds. Indicator species include <i>Elodea canadensis, Potamogeton robbinsii, Potamogeton vaseyi, Stuckenia filiformis, Potamogeton friesii</i>, and <i>Potamogeton strictifolius</i>. <i>Vallisneria americana</i> is often present. <i>Nymphaea odorata</i> and <i>Nuphar</i> spp. are often present but are not abundant. This vegetation is found in quiet waters at 0.5-2 m depth. In Maine, alkalinity is relatively high for ponds of the glaciated Northeast, with conductivity readings usually exceeding 50 uMHOs/cm. More intensive sampling that extends over a broader geographic range is needed to determine if particular associations within this concept should be segregated.  Accession Code: VB.CC.31367.CEGL006431 Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
