Effect of water exchange rate on interspecies competition between submerged macrophytes: functional trait hierarchy drives competition
Background and aimsThe “competition-trait similarity” and “competition-trait hierarchy” hypotheses can be used to predict competitive outcomes...
-
Interaction among bacterioplankton and macrophytes in shallow lakes with high macrophyte cover
Growth of submerged and emergent macrophytes was studied together with heterotrophic bacterioplankton abundance and production in two Hungarian...
-
Responses of submerged macrophytes and periphyton to warming under two nitrogen scenarios: A microcosm study
Warming and higher nitrogen loading induced by increasing precipitation are expected scenarios in north temperate regions as consequence of global...
-
Evaluating macrophytes as indicators of anthropogenic pressures in rivers in Ireland
The ability of macrophytes to indicate pressures in rivers was assessed by comparing metrics for nitrate (NO3), ammonia (NH4), soluble reactive...

Functional groups of microcrustaceans along a horizontal gradient in a Neotropical lake colonized by macrophytes
Here we analysed the taxonomic and functional diversity of microcrustaceans along a horizontal gradient from the littoral to pelagic zones of a...

Macrophytes enhance reach-scale metabolism on a daily, seasonal and annual basis in agricultural lowland streams
In many lowland streams, macrophytes are highly abundant and play a key role in ecosystem structure and function. However, no studies on annual...

Evaluation of Turbulence Stress on Submerged Macrophytes Growing in Lowland Streams Using H2O2 as an Indicator
Submerged macrophytes are subjected to a vast array of stresses in natural waters. Since each stress factor has a different mechanism of affecting...

Submerged macrophytes recruit unique microbial communities and drive functional zonation in an aquatic system
AbstractAquatic and wetland systems are widely used for landscapes and water regeneration. Microbiomes and submerged macrophytes (hydrophytes) play...

Evolution of Native and Alien Macrophytes in a Fluvial‐wetland System Using Long‐term Satellite Data
An overgrowth of invasive floating macrophytes can occur in shallow eutrophic lakes as a result of significant anthropogenic pressures. This...
-
Gimme Shelter: differential utilisation and propagule creation of invasive macrophytes by native caddisfly larvae
In aquatic systems, invasive submerged macrophytes considerably alter the structure and functioning of communities, thus potentially compromising...
-
Bellamya aeruginosa (Reeve) regulates bacterial community features in sediment harbouring different submerged macrophytes under different nutrient levels
The interactions between sediment microbial assemblages and submerged macrophytes in aquatic ecosystems can be potentially regulated by benthic...

Impacts on freshwater macrophytes produced by small invertebrate herbivores: Afrotropical and Neotropical wetlands compared
We compare invertebrate herbivory upon 13 macrophyte species in freshwater wetland systems located in two global ecozones, the Afrotropics and...

Glutathione S-transferase activity in aquatic macrophytes and halophytes and biotransformation potential for biocides
Glutathione S -transferase (GST) participates in the biotransformation of many xenobiotics including biocides. Its activity in plants is generally...

Phytophilous macroinvertebrate assemblages in Nigeen lake of Kashmir Himalaya
Macroinvertebrate assemblages associated with six aquatic macrophyte species were investigated in Nigeen Lake of Kashmir valley, Jammu and Kashmir....
-
Species-specific responses of macrophyte production to the increasing CO2 environment with potential ecosystem implications involved in the Baltic Sea
Macrophytes vary in their ability to utilize carbon in the form of HCO 3 − and/or CO 2 for photosynthesis. Some functional groups that solely use CO 2 ...

Phytoremediation of Metals by Aquatic Macrophytes
Phytoremediation is a plant-based and cost-effective technology that could be the possible potential method for providing an alternative to current...
-
pH treatments in continuous cultivation to maximize microalgal production and nutrient removal from anaerobic digestion effluent of aquatic macrophytes
Green algae have great potential for removing inorganic nutrients from anaerobic digestion effluent (ADE), but there is insufficient available...
-
Effects of the invasive fish Poecilia reticulata on the behavioral response of Daphnia pulex to the exotic submerged macrophyte Egeria densa
The high-elevation plateaus of the inter-Andean valleys are home to shallow lakes that have become eutrophic. These lakes share similarities with...
-
Decomposition dynamics of two aquatic macrophytes: response of litter interaction with temperature and dissolved oxygen availability
The decomposition of a single macrophytes species may not represent entirely the carbon cycling in aquatic ecosystems, as in the freshwater...

Strong top-down effects of omnivorous fish and macroinvertebrates on periphytic algae and macrophytes in a tropical reservoir
Top-chain predators play a fundamental role in the functioning of shallow reservoirs. Studies to elucidate the cascade effects produced by fish on...
