Phytoremediation Using Aquatic Macrophytes
2017Phytoremediation is a plant-based technology that is also called green technology. After the discovery of hyperaccumulating plants, this technology gained increasing attention. These hyperaccumulating plants are having the ability to uptake, store, transport, and focus on large quantity of specific poisonous elements in their body parts such as ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

1986
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.

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 ...

Surface-floating aquatic macrophytes
1985Aquatic plants that float on the water surface occupy a distinctive habitat that requires particular adaptation. Furthermore, since they are not affected by water depth, they are not limited to a particular zone in the hydrosere but may occur wherever there is sufficient free water.

Aquatic macrophytes and Eichhornia crassipes
1982Munro (1966) defined the shoreline habitats of Lake McIlwaine in terms of the presence or absence of aquatic macrophytes, and the major species of macrophyte where the plants were present. Relatively few areas of the lake shore were free of macrophytes (Fig.

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 ...
