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, <i>Zannichellia palustris</i> is dominant in all stands; <i>Stuckenia pectinata (= Potamogeton pectinatus)</i> is present in some stands. The macroalgae <i>Chara</i> sp. may also be present. In North Dakota, <i>Zannichellia palustris, Stuckenia pectinata</i> and <i>Chara</i> share dominance; <i>Ranunculus aquatilis</i> and <i>Myriophyllum sibiricum (= Myriophyllum exalbescens)</i> are secondary species.
