Information
Ecological parameter: aquaticity
Parameter group: habitat related parameters
Explanation:
The Aquaticity-score is a measure to which degree a species depends on an aquatic environment. Eight classes are defined. 1 stands for plants which are exclusively aquatic. Higher values describe plants less dependent on water. The category 8 describes species of brackish/salty marsh waters.
