Herbivory on freshwater macrophytes
Lodge, D.M., 1991. Herbivory on freshwater macrophytes. Aquat. Bot., 41: 195-224. Conventional wisdom holds that live macrophytes are rarely consumed and are functionally unimportant in aquatic food webs. With a review of the literature, I first demonstrate that macrophyte biomass, productivity, and species composition is often influenced by a variety of vertebrate and invertebrate grazers. Man...
متن کاملAn n-alkane proxy for the sedimentary input of submerged/ ̄oating freshwater aquatic macrophytes
Lipid analysis of aquatic plants from lakes on Mt. Kenya, E. Africa, revealed that non-emergent (submerged and ̄oating-leaved) species displayed enhanced abundances of mid-chain length, C23 and C25 n-alkanes. In contrast, the emergent aquatic plants had n-alkane distributions similar to those of the terrestrial vegetation, typically dominated by the long-chain length homologues (>C29). A proxy r...
متن کاملAquatic arsenic: phytoremediation using floating macrophytes.
Phytoremediation, a plant based green technology, has received increasing attention after the discovery of hyperaccumulating plants which are able to accumulate, translocate, and concentrate high amount of certain toxic elements in their above-ground/harvestable parts. Phytoremediation includes several processes namely, phytoextraction, phytodegradation, rhizofiltration, phytostabilization and ...
متن کاملLocal ciliate communities associated with aquatic macrophytes.
This study, based within the catchment area of the River Frome, an important chalk stream in the south of England, compared ciliated protozoan communities associated with three species of aquatic macrophyte common to lotic habitats: Ranunculus penicillatus subsp. pseudofluitans, Nasturtium officinale and Sparganium emersum. A total of 77 ciliate species were counted. No species-specific ciliate...
متن کاملOxygen Transport through Selected Aquatic Macrophytes
The extent of O2 transport from aerial plant tissue into the root zone was evaluated for several floating and emergent aquatic macrophytes that have characteristics favorable for wastewater treatment. The highest Oi transport rates from aerial tissue into the root zone were associated with plants having a small root mass. As root mass increased, the rate of O, transport decreased for aquatic ma...
