Macrophytes in neotropical aquaculture farms: Positive and negative effects
, 2014 Aquatic plants play a significant role in maintaining water quality, due to their ability of absorbing nutrients. The aim of this chapter is to show the value of macrophyte use as a tool for biological water treatment of aquaculture farms and also as a ...

Food potential of aquatic macrophytes [PDF]
Presents a review of the pathways in which aquatic macrophytes may be involved in the food production process, directly as human food, as livestock fodder, as fertilizer (mulch and manure, ash, green manure, compost, biogas slurry), and as food for aquatic herbivores, such as fish, turtles, rodents and manatees. Suggests research areas.

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.
