A MODIS-Based Novel Method to Distinguish Surface Cyanobacterial Scums and Aquatic Macrophytes in Lake Taihu

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2017
Satellite remote sensing can be an effective alternative for mapping cyanobacterial scums and aquatic macrophyte distribution over large areas compared with traditional ship’s site-specific samplings.

Aquatic Macrophytes are Seasonally Important Dietary Resources for Moose

open access: yesDiversity, 2019
Moose (Alces alces) are generalist herbivores, but are important aquatic-terrestrial ecotone specialists. Aquatic macrophytes are a high-quality food source for moose during summer, but the importance of aquatic food sources to the moose diet is ...

Environmental DNA of aquatic macrophytes: the potential for reconstructing past and present vegetation and environments

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2023
Environmental DNA is increasingly being used to reconstruct past and present biodiversity including from freshwater ecosystems. Here, we first review and compare studies that use metagenomics, targeted capture, and various barcoding and metabarcoding ...

Quantifying the ecological impacts of alien aquatic macrophytes: A global meta‐analysis of effects on fish, macroinvertebrate and macrophyte assemblages

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, 2022
1. Biological invasions constitute a pervasive and growing threat to the biodiversity and functioning of freshwater ecosystems. Macrophytes are key primary producers and ecosystem engineers in freshwaters, meaning that alien macrophyte invasions have the

Temperature influences swine wastewater treatment by aquatic plants

open access: yesScientia Agricola, 2020
Studies show that aquatic plants are an efficient alternative to minimize the harmful effects of wastewater. Two species of aquatic macrophytes (Pistia stratiotes and Eichhornia crassipes) were chosen to evaluate the temperature effect on the performance

Potential role of submerged macrophytes for oxic methane production in aquatic ecosystems

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, 2022
Methane (CH4) from aquatic ecosystems contributes to about half of total global CH4 emissions to the atmosphere. Until recently, aquatic biogenic CH4 production was exclusively attributed to methanogenic archaea living under anoxic or suboxic conditions ...

Phytoremediation Potential of Aquatic Macrophyte, Azolla [PDF]

open access: yesAMBIO, 2011
Aquatic macrophytes play an important role in the structural and functional aspects of aquatic ecosystems by altering water movement regimes, providing shelter to fish and aquatic invertebrates, serving as a food source, and altering water quality by regulating oxygen balance, nutrient cycles, and accumulating heavy metals.

Aquatic arsenic: Phytoremediation using floating macrophytes [PDF]

open access: yesChemosphere, 2011
Phytoremediation, a plant based green technology, has received increasing attention after the discovery of hyperaccumulating plants which are able to accumulate, translocate, and concentrate high amount of certain toxic elements in their above-ground/harvestable parts.

Can we predict community-wide effects of herbicides from toxicity tests on macrophyte species? [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.
