Rootmats 25-75 cm thick can form and anchor to the bottom or float. Soils can be silts or organic peats. Ponds and lakes where this association is found are in very low-gradient and wide valleys. This association has low species diversity and can be a monotypic stand of <i>Menyanthes trifoliata</i>. Cover ranges from 10-100%.
