Sorption of Nine Pesticides to Three Aquatic Macrophytes
Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 1999The sorption of nine pesticides to the aquatic macrophytes Chara globularis, Elodea nuttallii, and Lemna gibba was studied. A batch equilibrium method was used to study the sorption at five concentration levels to fresh shoots of the macrophytes. The results for the herbicides atrazine and linuron were described by nonlinear Freundlich equations, with ...

Community photosynthesis of aquatic macrophytes
Limnology and Oceanography, 2006We compared 190 photosynthesis‐irradiance (P‐E) experiments with single‐ and multispecies communities of macroalgae and vascular plants from freshwater and marine habitats. We found a typical hyperbolic P‐E relation in all communities and no sign of photosaturation or photoinhibition of photosynthesis at the highest irradiances of about 2,000 µmol m‐2 ...

Macrophytes : ecology of aquatic plants.
2009Aquatic plants contribute to maintaining key functions and related biodiversity in freshwater ecosystems, and to provide the needs of human societies. The way the ecological niches of macrophytes are determined by abiotic filters and biotic ones is considered.

A macrophyte submodel for aquatic ecosystems
Aquatic Botany, 1989Abstract A macrophyte submodel has been incorporated and tested in CE-QUAL-R1, a one-dimensional, vertically averaged model of reservoir water quality. A quasi two-dimensional scheme was necessary to represent the spatial relationship of macrophytes in reservoirs adequately.

Wetland Plants and Aquatic Macrophytes
2018Ecologists, conservationists, and managers frequently need to recognise and survey different aquatic plant species, vegetation types, plant communities, or habitat. It is, after all, the vegetation that defines the extent of a freshwater wetland. This chapter reviews the methods used to survey both ‘terrestrial’ and ‘aquatic’ freshwater plants and ...

Aquatic plants, like the waters in which they grow, have impinged on human welfare and culture throughout history. Papyrus provided the means for social intercourse in early civilizations, the lotus enriches the religion of Buddhists and Hindus, and rice forms the staple diet for half the people in the world today.

Phytoremediation of Metals by Aquatic Macrophytes
2020Phytoremediation is a plant-based and cost-effective technology that could be the possible potential method for providing an alternative to current treatment technologies for wastewater and contaminated ecosystems. It also enjoys popularity with the general public as a green technology.

Aquatic macrophytes as limnological indicators
Freshwater Biology, 1972SummarySpecies of submersed and floating‐leaved aquatic macrophytes have been place in a series based on their patterns of occurrence in an ordination of floristic lists. Two chemical parameters from lake water analyses are correlated with the species assemblage in individual lakes and trophic categories are defined on the quantitative chemical ...

Floating aquatic macrophytes for the treatment of aquaculture effluents
Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2020Aquaculture is an activity with economic and social importance since it generates food, employment, and income. However, like other human activities, it negatively impacts the environment, in this respect mainly due to the production of effluents rich in sedimentable solids, organic matter, phosphorus, and nitrogen.

Effect of aquatic macrophytes on the quantity of bacterioplankton.
Roczniki Akademii Medycznej w Bialymstoku (1995), 2000The authors investigated the effect of aquatic macrophytes on the quantity of bacterioplankton. Among the 7 species of aquatic macrophytes the most pronounced effect on bacterioplankton is exerted by Potamogeton crispus, causing a decrease in its quantity to 53.28%. Polygonum amphibium stimulates the growth of bacteria to 121.96%.
