1935P. S. Welch Limnology ii. 13 The lentic environments, sometimes known as the standing-water series, include all forms of inland water (lakes, ponds, swamps, and their various intergrades) in which the water motion is not that of a continuous flow in a definite direction. 1940L. H. Hyman Invertebrates I. iii. 80 Fresh-water habitats classify as lentic or standing-water bodies: lake-pond-swamp series, and lotic, or running-water formations... Among the smaller lentic environments, such as pools, ditches, ponds, and swamps, the animals are practically all littoral and benthonic. 1960N. Polunin Introd. Plant Geogr. xv. 498 The stalks of inhabitants of swift currents tend to be much shorter than those of their lentic relatives. |
