Abstract:

During the past few decades, attempts to manage excessive abundance of freshwater macrophytes, decreasing abundance of marine eelgrass (Zostera marina L.), and abundance and diversity of seaweeds have yielded modest successes, some short-term recoveries, and other complete failures. As many broad principles apply to the management of all aquatic plants, the aim of this paper was to synthesize the issues and provide direction for the management of freshwater rooted macrophytes, eelgrass, and marine macrophytic algae and place them in a Canadian context. Specifically, we examine biomass and land

Abstract:

Abstract Environmental complexity is considered a key factor for diversity enhancement in aquatic ecosystems. Macrophyte stands are a major contributor for this complexity due to their differential architectures. Nevertheless, the influence of distinct aquatic habitat architectures (with different types of macrophytes or without them) on microcrustaceans’ taxa composition, usually found in macrophyte colonized water bodies, is underexplored in limnological studies. The main objective of this study was to analyze this influence by comparing the Cladocera composition among four habitat architect

Abstract:

A survey of 17 Florida streams was conducted between October 1984 and August 1986 to determine if the abundance of aquatic macrophytes was related to nutrient enrichment. Macrophyte standing crops were not correlated with in-stream total phosphorus or total nitrogen concentrations. Aquatic macrophytes contained less than 2% of the annual nutrient discharge in nearly all streams. Nutrients are, therefore, not considered to be the primary factor regulating the abundance of aquatic macrophytes in most Florida streams.

Abstract:

Empirical studies suggest that the structural heterogeneity of aquatic ecosystem microhabitat is determined by the diversity and abundance of macrophytes. However, excessive accumulation of free-floating macrophytes on the water surface can reduce the biomass of submerged macrophytes, resulting in a relatively simplified habitat structure. We hypothesized that heavy summer rainfall disrupts the growth of free-floating macrophytes covering much of the Jangcheok Reservoir’s water surface, thereby resulting in a more complex habitat structure by allowing development of a more diverse of macrophyt

AbstractAquatic macrophytes constitute important components of many freshwater ecosystems. The manifold role of aquatic macrophytes in freshwater habitats is closely linked to their distribution, which in turn depends on a myriad of factors. Foremost, among these are light, water temperature, water quality changes and nutrient enrichment, sediment composition and fluctuations in water levels. Light and temperature are of paramount importance in determining the distribution (with depth, season and latitude), thereby influencing productivity and species composition as well.

Underwater light was found to be the best descriptor of the cover and biomass of submerged plants.

In all the study sites, Ceratophyllum demersum recorded the maximum total biomass with values ranging from 24.52 (Site I) to 241.45 gm–2 (Site III). This was followed by Alternanthera philoxeroides with values rang

Abstract:

Macrophyte beds in 11 lakes of differing trophic conditions were sampled intensively to examine the influence of macrophyte abundance and composition, epiphyton biomass, phytoplankton concentration, and water depth on the abundance of phytophilous invertebrates. Numerical abundance and biomass of phytofaunal taxa were only weakly correlated. Phytofauna biomass ranged from 17 to 270 mg dry mass∙g macrophyte dry mass−1(1–29 g dry mass∙m−2) among the macrophyte beds. Multiple regression analysis showed that total phytofaunal biomass was positively correlated with the biomass of the three primary

Abstract:

Although omnivorous cyprinid fish often dominate fish communities in shallow eutrophic lakes, their role in the food web is poorly known. In the present study, carbon sources of six cyprinid species were examined in a littoral freshwater habitat in a saline lake complex (Lake Chany, western Siberia, Russia) using stable isotope analyses (SIA). In this habitat, microalgae (phytoplankton and epiphytes), macrophytes and riparian vegetation comprised the major producer groups with distinctive δ13C values. Zooplankton and most benthic invertebrates functioned primarily as microalgae-based consumers

We examined the relationship between environmental factors and the richness of submerged macrophytes species in 73 Danish lakes, which are mainly small, shallow, and have mesotrophic to hypertrophic conditions. We found that mean species richness per lake was only 4.5 in acid lakes of low alkalinity but 12.3 in lakes of high alkalinity due to a greater occurrence of the species-rich group of elodeids. Mean species richness per lake also increased significantly with increasing Secchi depth. No significant relationship between species richness and lake surface area was observed among the entire

Aquatic macrophyte productivity and soil organic matter were measured in two impermanent wetlands in south-western New South Wales. Macrophyte biomasses (≤463 g dry wt m-2) were similar to or higher than those in submerged communities elsewhere. Macrophyte productivities in both wetlands were greatest in the year following reflooding. But even in that year, macrophyte productivity in Lake Merrimajeel (the only wetland for which data are available) was considerably less than soil organic reserves before reflooding. It is suggested that these soil organic reserves directly contribute to the rela

One of the best-known macrophytes in the world is Eichhornia crassipes, which, due to its high reproductive rate, can quickly occupy large areas of aquatic environments. However, there have been few assessments of the direct effect of this macrophyte, in the absence of predators, for tropical zooplankton communities.
