Abstract: In freshwater ecosystems, macrophyte contribute to habitat heterogeneity with their varying structural forms, ranging from free submerged to rooted species. Macrophytes provide substrates that support fish populations, providing food and refuge from predators, especially in… read more here.

Abstract: 1. Macrophytes play a key role in assimilating and storing nutrients in shallow aquatic ecosystems, but their capacity to act as a long-term nutrient sink can be affected by water level fluctuations. Water level drawdown… read more here.
