“The negative effects of macrophyte blooms can be more extensive and persistent in semi-closed water bodies like Basin Head.”

“The new Directive should, in any case, contain some sort of protocol setting out what to do when algae and macrophyte blooms occur.”

“Whatever the macrophyte variable considered, nutrient availability in fishponds did not affect macrophyte depletion rate.”

“The most frequently emergent macrophytes used are reeds, bulrushes, cattails, rushes and sedges.”

“Dense growths of aquatic macrophytes are generally objectionable to the swimmer, diver, water-skier, and scuba enthusiast.”

“These models predict the impacts of contaminants in both water and sediments as they are taken up by aquatic macrophytes and ingested by animals.”
