Effects of submerged vegetation on water clarity across climates

, 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 ...

Variability in nutrient loading to lake ecosystems and associated impacts on water quality

, 2013
Globally, the accelerated eutrophication of lake ecosystems due to excess inputs of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) is a significant problem. The rate of loading of N and P to lakes varies both in space and time; consequently, developing good ...

Agoutis and Seed Dispersal in Tropical Rainforests

, 2007
Seed dispersal is a vital component of all tropical rainforests; it is the means by which plants can spread their seeds and successfully reproduce. Without the use of dispersal agents, seeds must compete with parent plants and with one another in order ...
