Egeria densa Planchon is considered an invasive species in continental aquatic systems in
Chile. Its original geographical distribution was limited to the subtropical regions of Brazil …

Invasive alien aquatic plant species (IAAPs) cause serious ecological and economic impact
and are a major driver of changes in aquatic plant communities. Their invasive success is …

The physico-chemical environment and the resource needs of phytoplankton, periphyton
and macrophytes are markedly different. In this paper we compare the characteristics of the …

In submerged aquatic macrophytes the relationship between net photosynthesis and carbon
concentration in the water often follows a less gradual pattern than anticipated assuming …

Submerged plant richness is a key element in determining the ecological quality of
freshwater systems; it has often been reduced or completely lost. 2. The submerged and …

The responses of nutrient concentrations, plankton, macrophytes and macrozoobenthos to a
reduction in external nutrient loading and to contemporary climatic change were studied in …

Streams are subject to frequent natural and anthropogenic disturbances that cause
sediment erosion and loss of submerged vegetation. This loss makes downstream transport …

Aquatic macrophytes grow abundantly in many lowland streams and play a key role in
ecosystem functioning, such as nutrient retention. In this study, we performed a microcosm …

Background and Aims Submerged plants possess well-developed aerenchyma facilitating
intra-plant gas-phase diffusion of O2 to below-ground tissues, which are usually buried in …

Lobelia dortmanna is a common representative of the small isoetid plants dominating the
vegetation on sandy sediments in nutrient—poor softwater lakes in North America and …
