Direct and indirect effects of climate change on distribution and community composition of macrophytes in lentic systems. [PDF]
Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc, 2022 ABSTRACT Macrophytes are an important part of freshwater ecosystems and they have direct and indirect roles in keeping the water clear and providing structure and habitats for other aquatic organisms. Currently, climate change is posing a major threat to macrophyte communities by altering the many drivers that determine macrophyte abundance and ...
