Since 1980, sampling continues to be conducted in August during peak vegetation growth along fixed transects. There has been significant change in density and frequency of occurrence since 1980. Statistically significant correlations have been found between American wild celery density and water depth. After a population decline in the late 1980’s American wild celery continues to recover.

According to Nature Serve (2021) Vallisneria americana is native to the following states: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. From Randhawa (2018): “Vallisneria americana was observed growing in water district pond in Shasta county [sic] in 2007. Vallisneria species have been intercepted by county and at CDFA border stations in 2011, 2016 and 2018.

Periphyton samples were collected from various macrophyte habitats representing rush vegetation (in five water bodies), submerged aquatic plants (in three) and nymphaeids (in one): Pal˛edzie – Ceratophyllum demersum, Potamogeton crispus, Typha latifolia; Batorowo – Phragmites australis;Piotrowo–Potamogeton natans, Ceratophyllum submersum, Ty- pha latifolia; Tarnowo Podgórne – Typha latifolia;D˛abrówka – Zannichellia palustris, Potamogeton pectinatus, Phragmites australis. The main goal of the study was to determine the composition and abundance of the periphytic communities inhabiting various types of rush and water vegetation of five water bodies located within a mid-field landscape area. Diatoms such as Achnanthidium minutissimum, Amphora ovalis, Cocconeis placentula orNavicula cincta revealed signifi- cantly higher densities in the zone of elodeids, while green algae prevailed among nymphaeids. As a result of this study it was found that the epiphytic algae were characterised by much lower diversity in respect to a specific water body, though much greater diversity was observed in its relation to the type of substratum. Two types of habitats were distinguished – the first of simple build (helophytes and nympheids) and the second containing the complicated architecture of plant stems (elodeids).

The distribution of Vallisneria americana seeds and seedling light requirements in the Upper Mississippi River Abstract Vallisneria americana declined in backwaters of the Upper Mississippi River, U.S.A., after a drought in 1988. To determine whether viable seeds of V. americana occurred in the seed bank of navigation pool 7, Lake Onalaska, the upper 5 cm of sediment was collected from 103 sites in May 1990. These sediment samples were kept in pots at a depth of 0.4, 0.8, and 1.2 m in an outdoor pond for 12 weeks. Vallisneria americana seeds germinated from sites throughout the lake, and some seedlings produced overwintering buds by the end of the study.
