Name: Potamogeton spp. - Ceratophyllum demersum Great Plains Aquatic Vegetation
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This community type is found in the Great Plains of the United States in shallow to relatively deep (1 m) freshwater basins or bands in marshes or bays that remain flooded in all but the driest years. Vegetation varies from sparse to dense, with submersed rooted and free-floating macrophytes. Species composition varies with substrate, water depth, water chemistry, turbidity, water temperatures and other factors, but these are poorly understood. Dominant species in Nebraska include narrow-leaved pondweeds (<i>Potamogeton foliosus, Stuckenia pectinata, Potamogeton pusillus</i>), <i>Najas guadalupensis</i>, and <i>Zannichellia palustris</i>. <i>Ceratophyllum demersum</i> and <i>Utricularia macrorhiza</i> can be locally abundant. In quiet bays, <i>Potamogeton nodosus</i> and <i>Lemna</i> spp. are common. In clear water with sandy bottoms <i>Chara</i> spp. may also be common.
