Aquatic plant communities
Aquatic plant communities consist of various plants that live in or near water environments like lakes, rivers, and ponds. These plants, which include submerged, floating, and emergent types, play crucial roles by providing oxygen, food, and habitat for aquatic animals. They help filter water, prevent erosion, and support the overall health of the ecosystem. The composition of these communities depends on water quality, depth, and other environmental factors. Together, they create a balanced and diverse habitat that sustains many forms of aquatic life.
