Abstract

Curly-leaf pondweed is an invasive, submersed aquatic plant with thick roots that grows in many Iowa lakes, ponds and streams. When in a system, it aggressively outcompetes native submersed aquatic vegetation. Native to Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia, it was first collected in North America in 1841 and documented in Iowa in 1954.
