Analyzing the effects of four submerged macrophytes with two contrasting architectures on zooplankton: A mesocosm experiment

open access: yesJournal 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

Composition and Functional Diversity of Epiphytic Bacterial and Fungal Communities on Marine Macrophytes in an Intertidal Zone

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Marine macrophytes (seagrasses and macroalgae) and their epiphytic microorganisms play an important role in the ecological and biochemical processes of coastal oceans.

Control of macrophytes by grass carp (ctenopharyngodon idella) in a Waikato drain, New Zealand [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Hornwort (Ceratophyllum demersum L.) and other aquatic macrophytes have historically been mechanically removed from the Rangiriri drain and Churchill East drain to maintain drain efficiency.

Removing Mn, Cu and Fe from Real Wastewaters with Macrophytes: Reviewing the Relationship between Environmental Factors and Plants’ Uptake Capacity

open access: yesToxics, 2023
Heavy metal pollution creates environmental health concerns. Among these, iron (Fe), copper (Cu) and manganese (Mn) are commonly found in aquatic environments due to the release of wastewaters.

Habitat modification by invasive crayfish can facilitate its growth through enhanced food accessibility

open access: yesBMC 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

Variability response of aquatic macrophytes in inland lakes: A case study of Lake Nasser

open access: yesEgyptian 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 ...

The “Green Liver” Concept: Green Liver Systems as Low-Impact Systems for Bioremediation Using Aquatic Macrophytes

open access: yes, 2023
Systems with aquatic macrophytes have been developed as low-impact, low-energy, and low-cost solutions for the remediation of water pollutants. As plants metabolize toxicants in much the same way that an animal liver would, the name “Green Liver Systems”

A small omnivore fish (Acheilognathus macropterus) reduces both growth and biomass of submerged macrophytes: implications for shallow lake restoration

open access: yesKnowledge 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

open access: yesWater 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 ...
