P3f Oligotrophic-water vegetation
Oligotrophic lakes and pools, and rarely also artificial ponds, occur mainly in the boreal zone, Atlantic region of Europe and in mountain areas. They are sensitive to the input of nutrients from agriculture, atmospheric deposition and natural sources. Their aquatic vegetation is characterised by low productivity and the occurrence of highly specialised species, which usually decline after eutrophication due to competition from more productive, nutrient-demanding aquatic species.
