The growth of the aquaculture industry has been associated with negative environmental impacts through the discharge of raw effluents into the adjacent receiving water bodies. Macrophytes from natural saline lakes, which have adaptability to the high salinity, can be suitable for saline effluent treatment. Eight emergent species from natural saline area were planted in an experimental gravel be...

Secondary succession is impacted by both biotic and abiotic forces, but their relative importance varies due to environmental drivers. Across estuarine salinity gradients, physical stress increases with salinity, and biotic stresses are greater at lower salinities. In southern New England tidal marshes spanning a landscape-scale salinity gradient, we experimentally examined the effects of physi...

Hydrophytes are established bio-filters for a spectrum of pollutants and as such remediate gaseous contaminants as well. Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) by virtue of aquatic plants at a local scale may manifest as invalid at the outset but the marine and inland water stretches do contribute a lot globally. A study pertaining to 15 emergent macrophytes represented by 10 families exhibited...

Identifying the mechanisms that result in a “high impact” invasive species can be difficult. Coexistence theory suggests detrimental better predicted by incorporating both niche differences and fitness than examining overlap alone. Specifically, should take up shared limited resources more efficiently their neighbouring resident species. While there is clear evidence Phragmites australis succes...

Gaining a better understanding of carbon (C) dynamics across the terrestrial and aquatic landscapes has become a major research initiative in ecosystem ecology. Wetlands store a large portion of the global soil C, but are also highly dynamic ecosystems in terms of hydrology and N cycling, and are one of the most invaded habitats worldwide. The interactions between these factors are likely to de...

Toxicity tests were performed to assess the effect of tannery wastewater with different treatment levels on two wetland plants, Phragmites australis and Typha latifolia, which are frequently used in constructed wetlands (CWs) for water treatment, and thus deepen the knowledge on their capacity to withstand the application of industrial wastewater. Trifolium pratense, a plant generally used as a...

The aim of this study is to investigate the adaptation two species cattail Typha australis Schum. and Thonn. laxmannii Lepech. based on analysis morphological anatomical features their vegetative generative organs soil pollution with potentially toxic elements (PTE) in riparian zones sea edge Don River delta (Southern Russia). Both are able accumulate high concentrations Ni, Zn, Cd, Pb can be u...
