Physical ecosystem engineering by emergent aquatic vegetation: the importance of biomechanical traits [PDF]
, 2011 PhDThis thesis explores the potential of the emergent macrophyte Sparganium erectum to act as a physical ecosystem engineer and delivers an understanding of the vegetative processes that enable it to function in such a capacity.

Temperature influences swine wastewater treatment by aquatic plants
Scientia 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

Phytoremediation Potential of Aquatic Macrophyte, Azolla [PDF]
AMBIO, 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.

Consumption of submerged aquatic macrophytes by rudd (scardinius erythrophthalmus L.) in New Zealand [PDF]
, 2002 In experiments in New Zealand, rudd (Scardinius erythrophthalmus L.) of 108–277mm fork length (FL) ate a wide range of native and introduced submerged aquatic macrophytes in captivity and in the field.

Beta diversity of macroinvertebrate assemblages associated with aquatic macrophytes in shallow lakes within a tropical floodplain-dammed river [PDF]
Acta Limnologica Brasiliensia: Aims We assessed the beta diversity of macroinvertebrates associated with aquatic macrophytes in a dam-regulated river floodplain. We tested two hypotheses: (1) macroinvertebrates associated with aquatic macrophytes have higher beta diversity (higher ...

Interactions Of Aquatic Macrophytes And Epiphytic Algae In Freshwater Ecosystems [PDF]
, 1978 PhDThe distribution, population dynamics, photosynthesis and nutrition of epiphytic algae were investigated in natural and artificial freshwater ecosystems, with special reference to interactions between the algae and their macrophytic substrata. The

Factors affecting the distribution patterns of aquatic macrophytes
Limnological Review, 2014 Aquatic macrophytes constitute important components of many freshwater ecosystems. The manifold role of aquatic macrophytes in freshwater habitats is closely linked to their distribution, which in turn depends on a myriad of factors.

Temporal and spatial distribution of macrophytes in the Gruža Reservoir (Serbia) [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2009 A survey of aquatic macrophytes in the Gruža Reservoir (Serbia) was conducted during the period 2007-2008. Detailed data on the actual condition of macrophytes were established and compared between four parts of the reservoir.
