Turbidity, Waterfowl Herbivory, and Propagule Banks Shape Submerged Aquatic Vegetation in Ponds
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 The aquatic vegetation in nutrient-rich shallow lakes and ponds is structured by the interplay of multiple biotic and abiotic drivers. We tested the contribution of the macrophyte propagule bank and the delayed as well as direct impact of waterbirds on ...

Diaspore bank of aquatic macrophytes maintaining species diversity in a Neotropical pond
Acta Scientiarum: Biological Sciences, 2016 The diaspore bank is an important component of biological diversity acting mainly as storage and source of diaspores, which also indicate dynamics and patterns of maintenance of plant diversity.

Can we predict community-wide effects of herbicides from toxicity tests on macrophyte species? [PDF]
, 2011 Macrophyte communities play an essential role in the way freshwater ecosystems function. It is thus of great concern to understand how environmental factors, especially anthropogenic ones, influence their composition and diversity.

FOOD PREFERENCE AND CONSUMPTION OF AQUATIC MACROPHYTES SUBMERGED BY SNAIL Pomacea canaliculata [PDF]
Planta Daninha, 2015 The objective of this study was to evaluate the consumption potential, food preference and use of snail Pomacea canaliculata as a biocontrol agent of four submerged aquatic macrophytes (Ceratophyllumdemersum, Egeriadensa, Egerianajas and Hydrilla ...

Resistance and reconfiguration of natural flexible submerged vegetation in hydrodynamic river modelling [PDF]
, 2015 In-stream submerged macrophytes have a complex morphology and several species are not rigid, but are flexible and reconfigure along with the major flow direction to avoid potential damage at high stream velocities.

Control of macrophytes by grass carp (ctenopharyngodon idella) in a Waikato drain, New Zealand [PDF]
, 2003 Hornwort (Ceratophyllum demersum L.) and other aquatic macrophytes have historically been mechanically removed from the Rangiriri drain and Churchill East drain to maintain drain efficiency.

Influence of limnological variables on aquatic macrophytes in the Belo Monte reservoir, Amazon, Brazil [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de CiênciasThe demand for electricity grows with human expansion. Hydroelectric plants harness river energy but impact freshwater ecosystems. Reservoirs alter water flow, sediment, and local aquatic communities.

Risk management of European inland waters using macrophyte biomonitoring
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2014 Inland waters are extremely sensitive to inputs of contaminants. Increasing human activities lead to a rise in organic and inorganic pollutants leading to acidification or eutrophication problems. Many aquatic organisms are affected by these contaminants
