Meuse (2D) case on Potamogeton spp. habitat suitability
Based on the knowledgerules available through the KRW-Verkenner Rijkswateren the aquatic plant species Long-leaf pond weed (Potamogeton nodosus) and Sago pondweed (Potamogeton spectinatus) the criteria for flow velocity and water depth were applied to a predictive hydrodynamic scenario of the Meuse river. Based on these knowledge rules the habitat suitability for both species was assessed. The results of P. nodosus has been shown below.
