Permanent eutrophic lakes, ponds and pools
Common name:
Permanent eutrophic lakes, ponds and pools
Habitat code:
C1.3
Description:
Lakes and pools with mostly dirty grey to blue-green, more or less turbid waters, particularly rich in nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus) and dissolved bases (pH usually > 7). Moderately eutrophic waters can support dense beds of macrophytes, but these disappear when pollution causes nutrient levels to rise further.
