Macrophytes are considered key components of aquatic ecosystems and they also provide
multiple benefits for humans. In this review, I identified and exemplified 26 types of …

The ecosystem services can be divided using two major classification systems, the
Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MEA) and the Common International Classification of …

Global wetlands exhibit significant differences in both hydrology and species composition
and range from moss-dominated arctic peatlands to seasonally-flooded tropical floodplains …

Freshwater littoral zones harbor diverse ecological communities and serve numerous
ecosystem functions that are controlled, in part, by natural water level fluctuations. However …

In aquatic systems low dissolved oxygen (DO) has been identified as a serious water quality
problem. Here we use empirical data and modeling to explore the hypothesis that the …

Biological invasions constitute a pervasive and growing threat to the biodiversity and
functioning of freshwater ecosystems. Macrophytes are key primary producers and …

The impact of organisms on oxygen is one of the most dramatic examples of ecosystem
engineering on Earth. In aquatic systems, which have much lower oxygen concentrations …

Hyperoxia occurs when water oxygen (O2) levels exceed normal atmospheric pressure (ie,>
100% air saturation). Fish can experience hyperoxia in shallow environments due to …

Maintenance of suitable conditions in lowland rivers for both fish passage and resident
species is crucial to ensuring the long-term sustainability of fish populations. The dissolved …

This paper discussed the long-term and inter-monthly variation in the distribution area of
aquatic macrophytes in Taihu Lake, as well as the relationship between these variations and …
