Description

Habitat

Biome: Terrestrial ; Freshwater[1].

Ecology: Isoetes setacea is a perennial Hydrophyte (Geophyte), characteristic for temporary humid zones and can support water levels of up to 50 cm. The species is restricted to temporary pools on quaternary basalt. It is found in Mediterranean aquatic quillwort swards, communities with Isoëtes spp. in fluctuating water bodies (Corine biotope 22.3412). The vegetative growth generally takes place in winter while the maturation of the spores takes place in spring .[1].
