Effects of submerged vegetation on water clarity across climates [PDF]

, 2009
A positive feedback between submerged vegetation and water clarity forms the backbone of the alternative state theory in shallow lakes. The water clearing effect of aquatic vegetation may be caused by different physical, chemical, and biological ...

High-resolution flow simulation in Typhoon 21, 2018: massive loss of submerged macrophytes in Lake Biwa

Progress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2021
The global activities of typhoons and hurricanes are gradually changing, and these storms can drastically affect lake ecosystems through the recession of submerged macrophytes that regulate the water quality in lakes.

Spatial distribution and biomass of aquatic rooted macrophytes and their relevance in the metabolism of a Mediterranean coastal lagoon [PDF]

, 2007
This work aims to characterise the current autotrophic compartment of the Albufera des Grau coastal lagoon (Menorca, Balearic Islands) and to assess the relationship between the submerged macrophytes and the limnological parameters of the lagoon.

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

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.

Heavy metals in water, sediments and submerged macrophytes in ponds around the Dianchi Lake, China [PDF]

, 2014
Through retaining runoff and pollutants such as heavy metals from surrounding landscapes, ponds around a lake play an important role in mitigating the impacts of human activities on lake ecosystems.

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.

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

Egyptian 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 ...

Effects of aquatic vegetation type on denitrification [PDF]

, 2011
In a microcosm 15N enrichment experiment we tested the effect of floating vegetation (Lemna sp.) and submerged vegetation (Elodea nuttallii) on denitrification rates, and compared it to systems without macrophytes.

Adaptation of submerged macrophytes to both water depth and flood intensity as revealed by their mechanical resistance [PDF]

, 2012
Little is known about the mechanical resistance response of submerged macrophytes to floods. An experiment was conducted to investigate the plant growth, root anchorage strength, and stem tensile properties of five submerged macrophytes under three ...

In-situ anatomical and elemental response of aquatic macrophytes against nutrient enrichment in freshwater tropical lakes

Applied Water Science, 2022
Nutrient enrichment in lakes due to municipal wastewater discharge and agricultural run-off leads to excessive growth of algae and aquatic macrophytes leading to their altered trophic states.
