Name: Potamogeton gramineus - Potamogeton natans Northern Great Lakes Shore Aquatic Vegetation Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This submergent marsh type is found along northern Great Lakes shorelines in Lake Huron, Lake Michigan, Lake Superior, and along the St. Mary's River in the United States and Canada. Stands occur in a variety of shoreline contexts, including clay lakeplains, sand lakeplains, and sandy ground moraines. They typically occur in open water and stream margins within estuarine sites, often within a much larger poor fen. Stands in Lake Huron and Lake Michigan are found in relatively protected coastal embayments. Stands along the St. Mary's River occur in channel-side wetlands and embayments. The submergent vegetation typically contains <i>Potamogeton gramineus</i> and <i>Potamogeton natans</i>, as well as floating aquatics such as <i>Brasenia schreberi, Bidens beckii</i>, and <i>Nuphar variegata</i>. <i>Chara</i> spp. may be very common in alkaline areas.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:34036-{5A035490-F70F-4B04-8066-43C1C3954A97} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
