Lake Submerged Plant Index, 1991–2016
New Zealand's Environment Reporting Series: The Ministry for the Environment and StatsNZ
Submerged plants are good indicators of the ecological quality of lakes. Because they are attached to the bed of lakes, submerged plants are easy to observe and identify, and they are unable to move away from environmental changes. The plant species found within lakes can tell us about their level of habitat degradation and exotic weed invasion.
The file contains Lake submerged plant index scores for each sampling occasion.
