The Potamogeton natans community (NVC community A9) is one of the aquatic communities in the British National Vegetation Classification system.
This article gives an overview of the aquatic communities in the British National Vegetation Classification system.
The British National Vegetation Classification or NVC is a system of classifying natural habitat types in Great Britain according to the vegetation they contain.
It is a comparatively widely distributed community. There are three subcommunities.
One constant species is found in this community, Broad-leaved Pondweed (Potamogeton natans).
Potamogeton natans, commonly known as broad-leaved pondweed, floating pondweed, or floating-leaf pondweed, is an aquatic species in the genus Potamogeton native to quiet or slow-flowing freshwater habitats throughout the Holarctic Kingdom.
No rare species are associated with the community.
This community is found widely throughout Britain.
There are three subcommunities:
NVC community S1 is one of the swamp communities in the British National Vegetation Classification system.
NVC community SD18 is one of the 16 sand-dune communities in the British National Vegetation Classification system.
NVC community SD1 is the only shingle community in the British National Vegetation Classification system.
NVC community M2 is one of the mire communities in the British National Vegetation Classification system.
British NVC community OV4 is one of the open habitat communities in the British National Vegetation Classification system. It is one of six arable weed and track-side communities of light, less-fertile acid soils.
British NVC community SM1 is one of the salt-marsh communities in the British National Vegetation Classification system.
British NVC community MG10 is one of the mesotrophic grassland communities in the British National Vegetation Classification system. It is one of three communities associated with poorly drained permanent pastures.
British NVC community MG11 is one of the mesotrophic grassland communities in the British National Vegetation Classification system. It is one of three types of mesotrophic grassland classified as grass-dominated inundation communities.
British NVC community MC10 is one of the maritime cliff communities in the British National Vegetation Classification system. It is one of five communities categorised as maritime sea-cliff grasslands.
NVC community CG10 is one of the calcicolous grassland communities in the British National Vegetation Classification system. Of the upland group of calcicolous grasslands, it is the only one with a short sward associated with heavy grazing.
NVC community W8 is one of the woodland communities in the British National Vegetation Classification system. It is one of the six communities falling in the "mixed deciduous and oak/birch woodlands" group.
NVC community W10 is one of the woodland communities in the British National Vegetation Classification system. It is one of the six communities falling in the "mixed deciduous and oak/birch woodlands" group.
British NVC community MG5 is one of the mesotrophic grassland communities in the British National Vegetation Classification system. It is one of four such communities associated with well-drained permanent pastures and meadows.
British NVC community OV41 is one of the open habitat communities in the British National Vegetation Classification system. It is one of six communities of crevice, scree and spoil vegetation.
NVC community CG4 is one of the calcicolous grassland communities in the British National Vegetation Classification system. It is one of four communities of rank, tussocky grassland associated with low levels of grazing, within the lowland calcicolous grassland group.
British NVC community OV9 is one of the open habitat communities in the British National Vegetation Classification system. It is one of eight arable weed and wasteland communities of fertile loams and clays.
British NVC community OV22 is one of the open habitat communities in the British National Vegetation Classification system. It is one of six communities characteristic of gateways, tracksides and courtyards.
British NVC community OV23 is one of the open habitat communities in the British National Vegetation Classification system. It is one of six communities characteristic of gateways, tracksides and courtyards.
British NVC community OV24 is one of the open habitat communities in the British National Vegetation Classification system. It is one of four tall-herb weed communities.
