DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoleng.2020.105960
Abstract: Abstract In eutrophic lakes, macrophytes can improve water quality through their uptake of excess nutrients and by stimulating microorganism activity, particularly for nitrogen (through nitrification and denitrification). However, some adverse effects of macrophytes are of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2021.117105
Abstract: Macrophytes play an important role in aquatic ecosystems, and thus are often used in ecological risk assessments of potentially deleterious anthropogenic substances. Risk assessments for macrophyte populations or communities are commonly based on inferences drawn… read more here.
