Metapopulation and metacommunity theories occupy a central role in ecology, but can be
difficult to apply to plants. Challenges include whether seed dispersal is sufficient for …

The study of the relationships between vascular aquatic macrophyte occurrence, species
richness and the local environment are central for suitable ecosystem quality assessments …

Aim Conserving freshwater biodiversity in a rapidly changing world requires updated
planning schemes and research efforts. Geodiversity–the diversity of Earth surface forms …

Macrophyte assemblages are composed of species with different life forms and various
ecological functions. Our aim was to investigate the potential environmental determinants of …

Environmental filtering and spatial structuring are important ecological processes for the
generation and maintenance of biodiversity. However, the relative importance of these …

We examined macrophyte–environment relationships in shallow lakes located within the
Prairie Parkland and Laurentian Mixed Forest provinces of Minnesota. Environmental …

A multi-faceted approach is needed to better understand how the beta diversity of aquatic
assemblages responds to ecological gradients. Using distance-based RDA and variance …

Charophytes grow attached to soft bottoms in ponds, streams, lakes and estuaries and are
highly threatened throughout Europe according to the national Red Lists. We used Danish …

We investigated how land use at multiple scales affects functional macrophytes groups and
ecological status index in the boreal region. We employed a variance partitioning analysis 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 …
