Urban and Non-natural Communities
Managed Open Water
The managed open water community was created to differentiate highly artificial open water from ponds in the aquatic/wetland community that would have lacustrine ecological function as a constituent habitat. The managed open water community comprises three land-cover types: canal, reservoir, and urban open water.
