Cyanobacterial blooms can cause severe ecological and health problems in drinking water reservoirs. To alleviate this problem, allelopathically active submerged macrophytes be used to reduce cyanobacterial growth. Accordingly, study aimed evaluate the sensitivity of strains Microcystis aeruginosa complex isolated from reservoirs with presence absence allelochemicals Ceratophyllum demersum. A co...

Abstract Both non-rooted submerged vegetation dominated by coontail ( Ceratophyllum demersum) and floating duckweed Lemna gibba ) can maintain their stable dominance in small ponds channels. We examined the competitive interactions between them how sustain its state against plants a range of nutrient concentrations. Coontail were co-cultured static semi-static microcosm experiments, impact on n...

Artificial light at night (ALAN) is recognized as one of the major anthropogenic pollutants jeopardizing biodiversity a global scale. Few studies have focused on impacts nocturnal freshwater ecosystems despite their increasing exposure to pollution worldwide due human activities along rivers or lakes. By modifying metabolism, disruption natural regime could modify leaf palatability and affect p...

The configuration of submerged plants plays an important role in the restoration river networks. In this study, Sudong River, a typical plain network southern China, was selected for plant research to improve water transparency. Analysis historical and field data River showed that most state eutrophication. main factors affecting transparency were temperature, ammonia nitrogen, chlorophyll a, t...
