Name: North American Boreal Freshwater Aquatic Vegetation Group
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This aquatic floating and rooted vegetation is found in freshwater lakes, ponds and sluggish rivers of the Arctic and Boreal climatic zones of Alaska, Canada and Greenland. It occurs in 10 cm (4 inches) to at least 3 m (10 feet) of freshwater. Dominant species include <i>Hippuris vulgaris, Isoetes tenella, Limosella aquatica, Potamogeton</i> spp., <i>Ranunculus</i> ssp., and <i>Sparganium angustifolium</i>. This group includes nonvascular cryptogram or moss communities. Emergent species are absent or rare. These species are typical of aquatic habitats, and do not appear to be restricted to arctic or boreal climates.
