My last official plant survey of the season today. The last of the over 140 ponds I visited in England, from Cornwall to Northumberland. Here, finally in Bucks, I ended with Nitella flexilis agg. Another plant, & another new area record. My 4th record for this species in this county this year.

What makes early succession here distinctive is that plants and landforms shape each other. Pioneer vegetation stabilises loose substrate while geomorphic activity keeps resetting the surface. Tracing that #biogeomorphic feedback is exactly what we came to measure. 4/4
