Permanent oligotrophic lakes, ponds and pools
Description (English)
Waterbodies with a low nutrient (nitrogen and phosphorus) content, mostly acid (pH 4-6). Includes oligotrophic waters of medium or high pH, e.g. calcareous and basic unpolluted nutrient-poor lakes and pools, which are rare in much of Europe and noted as a habitat of charophytes (C1.14). Excludes peaty, dystrophic waters (C1.4). Because of the low nutrient status, beds of vascular plants, including Callitriche spp., Potamogeton spp. and isoetids Isoeto-Nanojuncetea are often sparse and open.
