Macrophytes and Bryophytes

2007
Macrophytes and bryophytes are plants that have structures that are usually more complex, interdependent, and physically substantial than benthic algae. In this chapter, we describe the characteristics and roles of macrophyte and bryophyte species that can thrive in submerged and flowing conditions.

Marine macrophytes retain microplastics

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2021
Microplastics (MPs, 0.2-5 mm) contamination of water outside/inside thickets of macrophytes in the Baltic Sea was studied. The amount of MPs particles in water samples taken within thickets is on average 1.7 times higher than in water samples taken in the areas outside thickets. Fibres are the predominant type of MPs (92.5%).

Cadmium uptake by floating macrophytes

Water Research, 2001
Cd uptake capacity of a group of floating macrophytes (Salvinia herzogii, Pistia stratiotes, Hydromistia stolonifera and Eichhornia crassipes) was determined in outdoors experiments during the lowest temperature period of the year. Although all studied species were highly efficient in the Cd uptake, Pistia stratiotes was selected for further research ...

Acidification, metals and macrophytes

Environmental Pollution, 1991
Plant-specific and metal-specific uptake of Al, Cd, Pb and Hg are reviewed, using examples from bryophytes, lichens, wetland plants, woody plants and crop plants. Ranges of plant metal concentration, toxic thresholds and effects, and effects of metal on biomass are derived from the literature.

Light absorption by marine macrophytes

Oecologia, 1994
Tissues of 338 marine macrophytes comprising 103 species, collected from the Atlantic, Mediterranean, South China, and Caribbean Seas, and encompassing a broad range in thallus form and pigmentation, were examined to quantify the importance of phylogenetic differences, spectral variability, and plant form and pigment content to account for differences ...

Fate of terbutryn in macrophyte‐free and macrophyte‐containing farm ponds

Weed Research, 1981
Summary:Terbutryn (2‐ethylamino‐4‐(tert‐butylamino)‐6‐methylthio‐s‐triazine) was applied in June 1978, to two farm ponds (A and C) near Winnipeg. Canada, to give 100 μg/l water concentrations. The persistence of the herbicide and its degradation products was monitored over a 61‐week period following application.

Snail herbivory on submerged macrophytes and nutrient release: Implications for macrophyte management

Ecological Engineering, 2009
Abstract Radix swinhoei (H. Adams) is a freshwater snail commonly found in shallow regions of Lake Taihu. This research estimated, based on experiments, the consumption rates of R. swinhoei on three young submerged plants (Vallisneria spiralis, Hydrilla verticillata and Potamogeton malaianus) and its rates of nutrient release. Results showed that the

Macrophyte‐gastropod associations: observations and experiments on macrophyte choice by gastropods

Freshwater Biology, 1985
SUMMARY.The abundance and microdistribution of thirteen gastropod and ten macrophyte species were monitored over 2 years in a 1 ha shallow eutrophic pond near Oxford, England. While areas of allochthonous leaf litter supported a depauperate and nondistinctive gastropod fauna, three different macrophyte habitats supported more diverse and distinctive ...

Modeling Microbial Impact on Macrophyte Debris Decomposition in Macrophyte-Dominated Eutrophic Lakes

Science of The Total Environment
The decomposition of macrophytes plays a crucial role in the nutrient cycles of macrophyte-dominated eutrophication lakes. While research on plant decomposition mechanisms and microbial influences has rapid developed, it is curious that plant decomposition models have remained stagnant at the single-stage model from 50 years ago, without endeavor to ...
