BMC Ecology, 2017 Background Invasive ecosystem engineers can facilitate their invasions by modifying the physical environment to improve their own performance, but this positive feedback process has rarely been tested empirically except in sessile organisms. The invasive

Ecological Indicators, 2021 Nutrient enrichment commonly promotes phytoplankton biomass, while the presence of macrophytes can mitigate the promotion effects of nutrient loading. However, the existing studies have seldomly focused on the impacts of macrophytes on the phytoplankton ...

Variability response of aquatic macrophytes in inland lakes: A case study of Lake Nasser
Egyptian Journal of Aquatic Research, 2021 Aquatic macrophytes are plants that live in water or wet soil, grow profusely in lakes and waterways, and provide several ecological benefits. Lake Nasser, an artificial reservoir, has been the most critical element in Egypt’s social and economic ...

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2020 Transplantation of submerged macrophytes has been widely used to improve water quality in restoring shallow lakes in China. However, in some lakes, small omnivorous fish predominated the fish assemblages and fed mainly on submerged macrophytes.

Control of algal growth by macrophytes and macrophyte-extracted bioactive compounds
Water Science and Technology, 1996 Algae (Selenastrum capricornutum and Microcystis aeruginosa) were respectively assayed in a mixed-culture system using various concentrations of macrophytes obtained from Egeria densa, Cabomba caroliniana, and Myriophyllum spicatum in order to evaluate their inhibitory effects on algal growth due to possible secretion of anti-algal bioactive compounds ...

A DNA mini‐barcode for marine macrophytes [PDF]
Molecular Ecology Resources, 2020 AbstractStudies focusing on marine macrophyte metabarcoding from environmental samples are scarce, due to the lack of a universal barcode for these taxa, and to their poor representation in DNA databases. Here, we searched for a short barcode able to identify marine macrophytes from tissue samples; then, we created a DNA reference library which was ...

International Journal of Sediment ResearchPlant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are used to assist phytoremediation. Synthetic PGPR can adapt to diverse sediment environments more effectively than single PGPR. However, their mechanisms of application in submerged macrophytes remediation of

Partners or passengers? Revisiting the association between diatoms and aquatic animals
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Numerous studies have revealed the importance of research on the communities capable of colonizing animal surfaces (epibionts) and the animals on which they live (basibionts). Very few studies have considered epizoic diatoms, and there are gaps and biases in our knowledge, including the choice of basibionts, the methods used, and the habitats ...

The effects of nutrient level on periphyton–macrophyte interactions in freshwater ecosystems
Water Biology and SecurityPeriphyton are one of the key primary producers in aquatic ecosystems, particularly in oligotrophic shallow lakes. Submerged macrophytes are capable of competing with periphyton for nutrients and light, but may also facilitate periphyton by providing ...
