Ecological Architecture +

Primary Producers: Ludwigia, dollarweed, shoreline grasses and sedges, algae, biofilm, and other broadleaf cover.
Nutrient Export System: Dense plant growth, shoreline grazing, detritus breakdown, and cross-biome movement.
Clean-up Crew Profile: Amber snails, amphipods, snails, crayfish overlap, isopods, millipedes, and other detritivores.
