You might want to try searching for "wetland succession" - while you might
not get a list of species per se, you will get a lot of info on niche
characteristics which you can then translate into species that can fill
those niches.  Most of what I've seen suggests that over time, plant biomass
& sediment runoff fill the pond, new species move in, and eventually it
becomes hydric forest.

There are tons of other references out there, these are three decent ones
that I took a brief peek at.

Cheers,
