List of aquatic plant communities in Germany
The list of aquatic plant communities in Germany was taken from the Red List of Endangered Plant Societies in Germany (Rennwald 2000) , which contains all plant communities occurring in Germany . Only the plant formation I = aquatic plant communities was taken into account. This formation has six classes :
- Duckweed companies - Lemnetea De Bolos et Masclans 1955
- Chandelier algae societies - Charetea fragilis Fukarek ex Krausch 1964
- Seagrass meadows - Zosteretea S. Pignatti 1953
- Laichkraut societies - Potamogetonetea Klika in Klika et Novák 1941
- Water hose -Mogger ponds - Utricularietea Pietsch 1965
- Strandling societies - Isoëto-Littorelletea Br.-Bl. et Vlieger in Vlieger 1937
The list has been divided into these classes.
For each plant society a picture, its order , its association , its synsystematic rank, its German name, its scientific name and its degree of endangerment (column: G) is given in one column each.
Rank:
- FOR = formation
- KLA = class
- ORD = order
- VRB = association
- ASS = association
Degree of risk:
- 0 = extinct or lost
- 1 = Critically Endangered
- 2 = Endangered
- 3 = endangered
- G = risk to be assumed
- R = extremely rare
- V = Decreasing, type of warning list
- * = currently not endangered
- D = Insufficient data on distribution and exposure
The plant communities in this list should only be linked to articles about the entire respective plant society, not to individual representatives of the plant society.
