The use of functional traits (FTs) can provide quantitative information to explain macrophyte
ecology more effectively than traditional taxonomic-based methods. This research aims to …

The rise in the earth's surface and water temperature is part of the effect of climatic change
that has been observed for the last decade. The rates of climate change are unprecedented …

It is expected that climate change will cause more frequent extreme events of heavy
precipitation and drought, changing hydrological conditions in riverine ecosystems, such as …

Live plants are increasingly used in hydraulic laboratories to investigate flow‐vegetation
interactions. In such experiments, they are often exposed to stressful handling and storage …

Environmental changes, eg, eutrophication, in aquatic ecosystems can greatly alter light
available to submerged macrophytes. In dioecious plants, given potential for sex-specific …

Growing travel and trade threatens biodiversity as it increases the rate of biological
invasions globally, either by accidental or intentional introduction. Therefore, avoiding these …

Climate change can result in multiple indirect alterations of the environment in riverine
ecosystems, due to changes in precipitation and runoff. Flow velocity, concentrations of CO …

Aim Decreasing in the diversity and distribution of native submerged plants have been
widely observed in recent decades. Global underwater darkening, which is mainly caused …

The decline of submerged plants resulting from low light and high ammonia nitrogen
(ammonia-N) has become a serious problem worldwide. In the present study, three levels of …

Submerged macrophytes are an important component of stream ecosystems but invasion by
non-native species can threaten the natural structure and function of these systems …
