Excess nutrient loads have been recognized to be the major cause of serious water quality
problems recently encountered in many estuaries and coastal waters of the world …

Models that simulate production of rooted macrophytes and macroalgae in aquatic systems
aid in developing hypotheses about the feedback mechanisms that influence plant growth …

Shallow lakes have become the archetypical example of ecosystems with alternative stable
states. However, since the early conception of that theory, the image of ecosystem stability …

We review and synthesize information available in the literature on sediment interactions
with submersed macrophyte growth and community dynamics. Sources of particular …

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 …

Invasion by mats of free-floating plants is among the most important threats to the functioning
and biodiversity of freshwater ecosystems ranging from temperate ponds and ditches to …

1. Submerged macrophytes have important physical and structural effects on lowland
streams. This study investigated the ability of submerged macrophytes to modify the near …

The interaction between flow and vegetation creates feedbacks to deposition that vary with
channel velocity. This experimental study describes how channel velocity and stem …

Current velocity significantly affected the biomass and shoot density of aquatic macrophytes
in two slow—flowing rivers in western Canada. Studies of aquatic macrophyte communities …

1. The relative contribution of roots and leaves to nutrient uptake by submerged stream
macrophytes was tested in experiments where plants were grown in an outdoor flow …
