Fish - waterfowl interactions in the Prairie Pothole Region of North America / T. Armstrong and J. Leafloor.
Material type:
TextPublication details: 1990.Online resources: Abstract: The prairies of western Canada and the north-central United States contain hundreds of thousands of small, shallow, highly productive wetlands. Most are palustrine wetlands, or potholes, that lack well-developed outlets, but lacustrine and riverine marshes also occur here. These waters are usually alkaline and range in salinity from fresh to hypersaline, sometimes reaching salinities 10 times higher than sea water. Differences in water depth, permanence, and salinity among wetlands cause associated changes in their flora and fauna that are used to classify the wetland types.
