Drivers of planktonic chlorophyll a in pampean shallow lakes

Ecological Indicators, 2023
Although agricultural intensification has been linked with the increment of lake eutrophication and shallow lake research has demonstrated the importance of submerged macrophytes for maintaining water clarity, less is known about the role of macrophytes ...

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.

Predation by Erythemis nymphs (Odonata) on Chironomidae (Diptera) and Elmidae (Coleoptera) in different conditions of habitat complexity

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

Interactive effects of light and snail herbivory rather than nutrient loading determine early establishment of submerged macrophytes

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 ...

Influence of Potamogeton crispus growth on nutrients in the sediment and water of Lake Tangxunhu [PDF]

, 2008
An incubation experiment was performed on Potamogeton crispus (P. crispus) using sediment collected from Lake Tangxunhu in the center of China, in order to determine the effects of plant growth on Fe, Si, Cu, Zn, Mn, Mg, P, and Ca concentrations in the ...

Potential effects of mechanically removing macrophytes on the phytoplankton community of a subtropical reservoir

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 ...

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

Toxics, 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.

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

Frontiers 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.

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

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

Biomass and physiological responses of green algae and diatoms to nutrient availability differ between the presence and absence of macrophytes

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 ...
