Aquatic and Littoral Successions in Various Post‐Mining Sites—Patterns and Possible Use in Ecological Restoration

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vegetation succession in aquatic and littoral habitats has received much less attention than terrestrial habitats have. We sampled differently aged successional stages at five different types of post‐mining sites, that is, sandpits, stone quarries, clay quarries, brown coal spoil heaps and black coal subsidences, across the Czech Republic ...

Effects of salinization on tropical freshwater wetland primary producers and aquatic invertebrates

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Sea level rise is expected to transform coastal aquatic ecosystems world‐wide. The freshwater wetlands of tropical northern Australia are among the most biodiverse and productive ecosystems on the continent, but owing to high regional rates of sea level rise coupled with low‐lying land and large tides they are increasingly affected by saltwater ...

Nutritional effects on the expression of cryptic pigmentation in freshwater isopods

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Cryptic pigmentation is a key phenotypic adaptation that helps many benthic invertebrates evade visual predators. However, little is known about whether and how the expression of pigmentation phenotypes that match the habitat background is influenced by the availability of nutritional resources.

Factors affecting the distribution patterns of aquatic macrophytes

open access: yesLimnological Review, 2014
Aquatic macrophytes constitute important components of many freshwater ecosystems. The manifold role of aquatic macrophytes in freshwater habitats is closely linked to their distribution, which in turn depends on a myriad of factors.

Caloric restriction‐mediated reproductive lifespan extension across multiple strains of the clonal aquatic plant Lemna turionifera

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Lifespan extension due to caloric restriction (CR) is a well‐established aspect of animal senescence that has been observed in many taxa. Contrastingly, there is much less evidence in plants, even though it is straightforward to manipulate CR by restricting photosynthesis through reduction in light intensity.

The effects of water depth on the growth of two submerged macrophytes in an in situ experiment

open access: yesJournal of Freshwater Ecology, 2021
An in situ experiment was designed in which Potamogeton crispus and Hydrilla verticillata were planted in plastic pots 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 175 and 200 cm underwater to study the effect of water depth on the growth and photosynthetic fluorescence ...

Associating Local‐Scale Physical Habitat Assemblages With Reach‐Scale Stream Hydrogeomorphological Types in Mountain Headwater Catchments

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Building an understanding of river ecosystems often involves integrating information from different locations, spatial scales and points in time. Geomorphologists and ecologists have long considered ways to explore river ecosystems at different, hierarchical, spatial scales so that features observed locally can be linked to the character of ...

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 ...

Analyse multi-compartiments et rôles fonctionnels des macrophytes dans les hydrosystèmes

open access: yesSciences, Eaux & Territoires, 2008
Les macrophytes sont mis en relation avec les autres compartiments des hydrosystèmes, tant abiotiques (masse d'eau, milieu physique) que biotiques (algues épiphytes, invertébrés, poissons).
