Name: Potamogeton natans Aquatic Vegetation
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: Habitat is ponds, pools, lakes, and sloughs from California to Alaska and eastward. This association forms rooted aquatic beds with mats of leaves that float on the surface of the water and can tolerate seasonal drying if the substrate remains wet. <i>Potamogeton natans</i> is the primary species with an average cover of 70% and ranging from 60-85%. Other species present with significant patches include <i>Utricularia macrorhiza, Nuphar polysepala</i>, and <i>Brasenia schreberi</i>. <i>Potamogeton</i> frequently intermixes with adjoining associations, and many ecologists sample these mixed stands rather than the monotypic stands.
