Impact DescriptionIn Sweden, Nitellopsis obtusa dies off in the winter, which reduces the ability of slow colonizers like the isopod Asellus and amphipod Gammarus to establish significant populations in this habitat. As a result, it typically hosts many chironomids, while Chara tomentosa harbors more amphipods and isopods.
