Influence of aquatic
macrophyte habitat complexity on invertebrate abundance and richness in tropical lagoons.Freshwater Biology, vol.
Cadmium and lead bioaccumulation potentials of an aquatic
macrophyte Ceratophyllum demersum L.: a laboratory study.
The aquatic
macrophyte community in the oxbow is dominated by hornworth (Ceratophyllum demersum), Eurasian watermilfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum), P.
All
macrophyte taxa were recorded on the transects (width 10 m) starting at the willows or forest by the side of the lake and reaching into the water.
To delineate the littoral zone, we first identified the maximum depth of
macrophyte growth by conducting snorkel surveys in five to 30 sectors of each lake, depending upon lake size (at least one for every 15 ha up to a maximum of 30, sensu Jeppesen et al., 2000).
A study of aquatic plants associated with the 'wadi' ecosystems has resulted in several positive outcomes, including the setting up of a comprehensive database for the
macrophyte species in the Al Hajar Mountain range.
2008) to test the response (counts per transect) of the fish, invertebrate, and
macrophyte communities, separately, to one or more of the factors: habitat (cable, pipe, natural), depth (shallow, deep), and time (survey).
The non-native
macrophyte hydrilla, although causing problems in many waters, conveys the ecological and angling benefits of native
macrophytes, but its aggressive growth leading to high-density stands of "topped out" (forming a dense surface mat of stems that shades out plant growth below) vegetation can create hypoxic (low-oxygen) conditions that diminish hydrilla's value as fish habitat.
and also variations in the diet of larvae of different ages, in tanks with the same
macrophyte species.
It was the most appropriate living environment for submerged
macrophytes. It explains why the submerged plants were just degraded but not disappearing from the
macrophyte communities of Xiangyang site after the water level rose to a pretty high level.
