Phytohormonal Roles in Plant Responses to Heavy Metal Stress: Implications for Using Macrophytes in Phytoremediation of Aquatic Ecosystems

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 2020
Heavy metals can represent a threat to the health of aquatic ecosystems. Unlike organic chemicals, heavy metals cannot be eliminated by natural processes such as their degradation into less toxic compounds, and this creates unique challenges for their ...

Caloric restriction‐mediated reproductive lifespan extension across multiple strains of the clonal aquatic plant Lemna turionifera

Oikos, EarlyView.
Lifespan extension due to caloric restriction (CR) is a well‐established aspect of animal senescence that has been observed in many taxa. Contrastingly, there is much less evidence in plants, even though it is straightforward to manipulate CR by restricting photosynthesis through reduction in light intensity.

Potential effects of mechanically removing macrophytes on the phytoplankton community of a subtropical reservoir

Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2018
Intensive growth of aquatic macrophytes interferes with water quality and ecosystem dynamics worldwide. Although mechanically removing macrophytes is the most commonly used method for their eradication, it can also cause undesirable disturbances in ...

Landscapes of facilitation: how self-organized patchiness of aquatic macrophytes promotes diversity in streams.

Ecology, 2018
Spatial heterogeneity plays a crucial role in the coexistence of species. Despite recognition of the importance of self-organization in creating environmental heterogeneity in otherwise uniform landscapes, the effects of such self-organized pattern ...

Associating Local‐Scale Physical Habitat Assemblages With Reach‐Scale Stream Hydrogeomorphological Types in Mountain Headwater Catchments

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Building an understanding of river ecosystems often involves integrating information from different locations, spatial scales and points in time. Geomorphologists and ecologists have long considered ways to explore river ecosystems at different, hierarchical, spatial scales so that features observed locally can be linked to the character of ...

Specialization directs habitat selection responses to a top predator in semiaquatic but not aquatic taxa

Scientific Reports, 2021
Habitat selectivity has become an increasingly acknowledged mechanism shaping the structure of freshwater communities; however, most studies have focused on the effect of predators and competitors, neglecting habitat complexity and specialization.

Cabomba caroliniana and Schoenoplectus californicus as Antifouling Candidates: Anti‐Attachment and Toxicological Effects in Aurelia coerulea (Cnidaria, Scyphozoa)

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biofouling on artificial surfaces in aquatic ecosystems leads to significant economic losses. Current antifouling paints, while effective, often harm the aquatic environment. This study explores ecologically safe antifouling alternatives derived from plants, focusing on the aquatic macrophytes Cabomba caroliniana (CC) and Schoenoplectus ...

Habitat architecture influencing microcrustaceans composition: a case study on freshwater Cladocera (Crustacea Branchiopoda)

Brazilian Journal of Biology
Environmental complexity is considered a key factor for diversity enhancement in aquatic ecosystems. Macrophyte stands are a major contributor for this complexity due to their differential architectures.

The Future of Freshwater Macrophytes in a Changing World: Dissolved Organic Carbon Quantity and Quality and Its Interactions With Macrophytes

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Freshwater ecosystems are confronted with the effects of climate change. One of the major changes is an increased concentration of aquatic carbon. Macrophytes are important in the aquatic carbon cycle and play as primary producers a crucial role in ...

Tolerance and hyperaccumulation of a mixture of heavy metals (Cu, Pb, Hg, and Zn) by four aquatic macrophytes

International journal of phytoremediation, 2017
In the present investigation, four macrophytes, namely Typha latifolia (L.), Lemna minor (L.), Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms-Laubach, and Myriophyllum aquaticum (Vell.) Verdc, were evaluated for their heavy metal (Cu, Pb, Hg, and Zn ...
