Background Flooding causes substantial stress for terrestrial plants, particularly if the
floodwater completely submerges the shoot. The main problems during submergence are …

Aquatic plants (macrophytes) are important components of freshwater ecosystems and serve
numerous purposes that structure aquatic communities. Although macrophytes represent an …

In a new taxonomic account of Ranunculus section Batrachium 30 species are recognized.

Abstract Background and Aims The successful spread of invasive plants in new
environments is often linked to multiple introductions and a diverse gene pool that facilitates …

Ranunculus section Batrachium (water crowfoot) ranks among the most taxonomically
challenging aquatic plant groups due to morphological reduction, phenotypic plasticity …

Groundwater–surface water (GW–SW) interactions cover a broad range of hydrogeological
and biological processes and are controlled by natural and anthropogenic factors at various …

Aquatic and semi-aquatic plants comprise few species worldwide, yet the introduction of non-
indigenous plants represents one of the most severe examples of biological invasions. My …

Fish pond systems are managed with different practices. Among them, a dry period with one
year without water is applied in some cases to promote mineralization of the sediments and …

Two invasive aquatic plants, Elodea canadensis and Elodea nuttallii, occurred in north-
