Name: Nymphaea odorata - Stuckenia pectinata - Potamogeton spp. Freshwater Aquatic Vegetation Group
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: Submergent marshes can be found across a large part of North America, ranging from boreal, interior Canada (Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario) south through the Great Plains to the Gulf Coastal Plain in Texas and east to the Atlantic from Virginia to Maine. Stands in this group have rooted aquatic herbaceous vegetation, are permanently flooded with water generally less than 2 m deep, and are subject to low to moderate waves and currents. Water salinity varies from fresh to saline, with the saline and brackish sites tending to occur in the Great Plains. Submergent and floating-leaved aquatics dominate submergent marshes. Emergent vegetation has <10% total cover. Total vegetation cover ranges from sparse to dense.
