Monitoring aquatic plants: An evaluation of hydroacoustic, on-site digitising and airborne remote sensing techniques

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2019
Aquatic macrophytes are often monitored to detect change in ecosystem function and state, as well as assessing the effectiveness of invasive aquatic plant management.

Breaking the misconception of a dry and lifeless semiarid region: the diversity and distribution of aquatic flora in wetlands of the Brazilian Northeast

Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2021
The semiarid region of northeastern Brazil possesses a set of wetlands characterized by hydrographic basins with deficient drainage networks, a few large and permanent lotic systems and several permanent and temporary lagoons.

Arsenic accumulation by edible aquatic macrophytes

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2014
Edible aquatic macrophytes grown in arsenic (As)-contaminated soil and sediment were investigated to determine the extent of As accumulation and potential risk to humans when consumed. Nasturtium officinale (watercress) and Diplazium esculentum (warabi) are two aquatic macrophytes grown and consumed in Hawaii. Neither has been assessed for potential to

Role of macrophyte life forms in driving periphytic microalgal assemblages in a Brazilian reservoir

Journal of Limnology, 2015
Macrophytes play several roles in aquatic ecosystems, including the provision of habitat for many aquatic organisms, especially the periphyton. The aims of this study were to characterize the structure of periphytic microalgal assemblages on different ...

Invasive crayfish threaten the development of submerged macrophytes in lake restoration. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Submerged macrophytes enhance water transparency and aquatic biodiversity in shallow water ecosystems. Therefore, the return of submerged macrophytes is the target of many lake restoration projects.

Different scales determine the occurrence of aquatic macrophyte species in a tropical stream

Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2021
Distributions of aquatic macrophyte species are commonly associated with water chemistry characteristics. However, other environmental factors that can lead to the occurrence of aquatic plants in lotic ecosystems, such as dynamic habitats linked to the ...

Partners or passengers? Revisiting the association between diatoms and aquatic animals

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Numerous studies have revealed the importance of research on the communities capable of colonizing animal surfaces (epibionts) and the animals on which they live (basibionts). Very few studies have considered epizoic diatoms, and there are gaps and biases in our knowledge, including the choice of basibionts, the methods used, and the habitats ...

Macrophyte Coverage Increases Largemouth Bass Abundance and Trophy Potential: A Resist‐Accept‐Direct (RAD) Application for Aquatic Plant Management in North‐Temperate Lakes

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries
Climate change is altering north‐temperate lake ecosystems through warming and increased aquatic macrophyte production. These changes have the potential to cause ecosystem shifts that challenge status quo fisheries management and require the adoption of ...

Water depth affects submersed macrophyte more than herbivorous snail in mesotrophic lakes

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionWater depth (WD) and snail abundance (SA) are two key factors affecting the growth of submersed aquatic plants in freshwater lake ecosystems.
