Simulated Range Expansion Suggests Rapid Change in Biotic Resistance to a Range‐Shifting Competitor
We constructed populations of Lemna minor genotypes sourced from localities near and beyond the range edge of a potential range‐shifting competitor, Spirodela polyrhiza. Following 14 weeks of exposure to low densities of S. polyrhiza, we observed subtle but significant rapid evolution and phenotypic plasticity of functional traits in L.

Abstract This field study investigated how oyster canopy density modulates hydrodynamics of natural intertidal oyster reef. High‐resolution velocity measurements were taken simultaneously within and above oyster canopies of variable density (solid volume fractions, Ø=$$ \mathrm{\O}= $$ 0.04–0.21).

ABSTRACT Nutrient enrichment in shallow lakes and ponds can shift systems from clear water, macrophyte dominance to turbid, phytoplankton dominance. Because the identity and threshold of the limiting nutrients vary among sites, system‐specific evidence is needed to guide water quality management. We conducted 3‐day in situ nutrient‐enrichment bioassays

Charisma: a spatial explicit simulation model of submerged macrophytes [PDF]
An individual-based spatially explicit model ('Charisma') designed to simulate the growth of one or more competing species of submerged macrophytes is presentedAn important problem in lake management is the replacement of submerged plant species by ...

Effects of salinity on sprouting and growth of three submerged macrophytes [PDF]
Many freshwater ecosystems are facing salinity stress, but limited information is available about its effects on submerged macrophytes. Here, we assessed the effects of salinity on sprouting and growth of three submerged macrophytes-Potamogeton crispus ...

ABSTRACT Understanding long‐term phytoplankton community dynamics is essential for assessing ecological resilience and informing lake management under global change. However, centennial‐scale patterns of phytoplankton dynamics remain poorly resolved due to the limited taxonomic resolution of traditional fossil‐based paleoecological approaches.

Effect of submerged macrophytes on metal and metalloid concentrations in sediments and water of the Yunnan Plateau lakes in China [PDF]
Purpose Submerged macrophytes have an ability to absorb metals and metalloids either from the sediments via the roots, from the water by the leaves, or from both sources.
