Acta Limnologica Brasiliensia, 2015 Aim: The goal of this study was to analyze the effects of predation by nymphs of Erythemis Hagen, 1861 on Elmidae and Chironomidae and to check if the presence and the architecture of aquatic macrophytes may mediate this interaction. Methods: All prey as

Effect of removal of free-floating macrophytes on zooplankton habitat in shallow wetland
Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2014 Submerged macrophytes improve the structural heterogeneity of microhabitats in aquatic ecosystems, often providing an important habitat for zooplankton.

Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Submerged macrophytes play a key role in maintaining a clear‐water phase and promoting biodiversity in shallow aquatic ecosystems. Since their abundance has declined globally due to anthropogenic activities, it is important to include them in aquatic ...

Macrophytes as bioindicators [PDF]
River Systems, 2003 Submerged macrophytes respond to changes in the nutrient concentrations in their environment. In contrast to diatoms e.g., submerged macrophytes are capable of taking up nutrients from both the sediment pore water and the overlying water. Therefore, macrophytes can provide a more comprehensive assessment of river ecosystems. Two methods using submerged

The relative contribution of aquatic macrophytes and their epiphytes to the production of macrophyte beds1 [PDF]
Limnology and Oceanography, 1980 The epiphyte contribution to the total production of Lake Memphremagog macrophyte beds changed in a predictable fashion with the season, the morphology of the macrophytes, the depth of the bed, and the trophy of the water. In the mesotrophic portion of the lake, epiphytes fixed more carbon than the macrophytes only at the beginning and end of the ...

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 ...

Herbicides for Rooted Aquatic Macrophytes [PDF]
Planta Daninha, 2019 ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of glyphosate, 2,4-D, and diquat to control the aquatic macrophytes Brachiaria subquadripara, Hedychium coronarium, and Myriophyllum aquaticum under greenhouse conditions. The following herbicides and doses were used: glyphosate at 240, 720, 1,680, 2,640, 3,600, and 4,320 g a.e.

Journal of Limnology, 2017 Increases in the structural complexity of submerged macrophytes are often shown to be linked to higher invertebrate abundance and diversity, but a number of studies have demonstrated, however, that this is not always the case. The objective of this study
