This review summarizes current knowledge on mechanical (artificial mixing, hypolimnetic
aeration, dredging, and sonication) and biological (biomanipulation, macrophytes, and …

The present brief and selective review focuses on a set of invasive alien aquatic plant
species (notably the 21 listed by the European and Mediterranean Plant Protection …

Trait-based approaches have been widely used to explore the relationships between
submerged macrophytes and their surrounding environments. However, the effects of …

Aquatic vegetation has important ecological and regulatory functions and should be
monitored in order to detect ecosystem changes. Field data collection is often costly and …

Land use is considered one of the most serious drivers of biodiversity change. Aquatic
macrophytes are sensitive to changes occurring within their physical habitat and respond at …

EU countries are required to perform an assessment of all freshwater habitats larger than 50
ha by 2015 to meet the requirements set by the Water Framework Directive (2000). To …

Aims Most vegetation classification systems developed for large areas include various
inconsistencies. Therefore, we (1) propose a new consistent Cocktail‐based approach to …

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

Questions Are community composition and species richness of aquatic macrophytes
determined primarily by local (habitat heterogeneity and water quality) or regional (climate) …

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