Invasive crayfish threaten the development of submerged macrophytes in lake restoration. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Submerged macrophytes enhance water transparency and aquatic biodiversity in shallow water ecosystems. Therefore, the return of submerged macrophytes is the target of many lake restoration projects.

Submerged Macrophytes Exhibit Different Phosphorus Stoichiometric Homeostasis [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Phosphorus (P) is a limiting element in many aquatic ecosystems. Excessive P input often leads to cyanobacterial bloom, thus triggering ecological imbalances and a series of environmental problems. Submerged macrophytes have a strong ability to absorb P and play important roles in maintaining aquatic ecosystem functions.

npj Clean Water, 2022 Homeostasis for phosphorus (HP) in submerged macrophytes may influence the susceptibility of lakes to regime shifts; however, the mechanisms linking submerged macrophyte HP to regime shifts remain unclear.

Acta Scientiarum: Biological Sciences, 2021 Cyanobacterial blooms can cause severe ecological and health problems in drinking water reservoirs. To alleviate this problem, allelopathically active submerged macrophytes can be used to reduce cyanobacterial growth.

Growth Control of Cyanobacteria by Three Submerged Macrophytes [PDF]
Environmental Engineering Science, 2012 To illustrate the control of harmful cyanobacterial growth and the removal of nutritients from fresh water, three submerged macrophytes were grown in the raw water of Guishui Lake. Lindernia rotundifolia, Hygrophila stricta, and Cryptocoryne crispatula were grown together in situ to assess their effectiveness in nutrient removal in microcosms.

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2021 Submerged macrophytes, as the primary producer in lakes, possess fundamental function for the construction of the lake ecosystem. Here, species-genetic diversity correlation (SGDC) was evaluated between the species diversity (SD) of submerged macrophyte ...

Pan evaporation is increased by submerged macrophytes
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2022 Abstract. The topic of evaporation estimates is fundamental to land-surface hydrology. In this study, FAO-56 Penman–Monteith equation (FAO56–PM), multiple stepwise regression (MLR), and Kohonen self-organising map (K–SOM) techniques were used for the estimation of daily pan evaporation (Ep) in three treatments, where C was the standard class A pan with

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.

Turbidity, Waterfowl Herbivory, and Propagule Banks Shape Submerged Aquatic Vegetation in Ponds
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 The aquatic vegetation in nutrient-rich shallow lakes and ponds is structured by the interplay of multiple biotic and abiotic drivers. We tested the contribution of the macrophyte propagule bank and the delayed as well as direct impact of waterbirds on ...

Can artificial light promote submerged macrophyte growth in summer?
Aquatic Ecology, 2021 Loss of submerged macrophytes resulting from high turbidity has become a global environmental problem in shallow lakes, associated with eutrophication. To help macrophyte recovery, application of artificial light-emitting diodes (LEDs) has been proposed to complement nutrient load reductions.
