Protected Areas Have Not Halted Macrophyte Biodiversity Loss and Eutrophication in Northwest German Standing Waters

Journal of Vegetation Science, Volume 37, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Since the mid‐20th century, mean site‐level macrophyte richness declined by more than a quarter across 119 standing waters of various types in northwest Germany. Within protected areas, richness was consistently higher but declined at similar rates. Communities shifted towards eutrophic‐hypertrophic indicators, underscoring the need for catchment‐wide ...

Effects of water regime on the growth of the submerged macrophyte Ceratophyllum demersum at different densities

Journal of Freshwater Ecology, 2018
To successfully restore deteriorated lake ecosystems, it is vital to identify influencing environmental factors that impact submerged macrophytes. Planting density and water regime are important factors for submerged macrophytes’ growth.

Intraspecific trait variability is a key feature underlying the association between community‐weighted mean and abiotic gradients

Oikos, Volume 2025, Issue 12, December 2025.
Functional plant traits that influence fitness or performance provide a powerful tool for understanding and predicting how plants interact with their environment, respond to ecological changes, and contribute to ecosystem processes. To this day, most trait‐based ecological studies in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems have assumed that species ...

Go hard or go home: Major removal of woody vegetation and sediment greatly enhances wetland plant and water beetle diversity recovery in a farmland pond landscape

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 4, October–December 2025.
We investigated short‐term (1–3 years) pond biodiversity responses to restoration at a variety of management intensities. Ponds undergoing the most intense intervention (major woody vegetation and sediment removal) showed the strongest biodiversity uplift. This is likely in part due to a seedbank response and highlights the value of intense restoration

Native and non-native plants provide similar refuge to invertebrate prey, but less than artificial plants.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Non-native species introductions are widespread and can affect ecosystem functioning by altering the structure of food webs. Invading plants often modify habitat structure, which may affect the suitability of vegetation as refuge and could thus impact ...

Influence of aquatic macrophytes on the interactions among aquatic organisms in shallow wetlands (Upo Wetland, South Korea)

Journal of Ecology and Environment, 2014
Seasonal monitoring was implemented to understand the influence of macrophyte bed structure on the composition and trophic interaction of aquatic organisms (algae, zooplankton, macro-invertebrate, and fish) in a shallow wetland (Upo Wetland, South ...
