Rivers are well-known sources of the greenhouse gasses (GHG) carbon dioxide (CO 2),
methane (CH 4) and nitrous oxide (N 2 O). These emissions from rivers can increase …

Freshwater catchments can experience nutrient deficits that result in reduced primary and
secondary productivity. The most commonly limiting nutrients are nitrogen and phosphorus …

Transport and transformation of inorganic nutrients are influenced by abiotic-biotic
interactions and determine downstream water quality. Macrophytes play an important role in …

Abstract Plastics, especially microplastics (< 5 mm in length), are anthropogenic polymer
particles that have been detected in almost all environments. Microplastics are extremely …

The disappearance of submerged aquatic vegetation caused by the use of purse seine in
productive fishery has aroused the attention of the national government. In order to restore …

Rivers and streams are heterogenous ecosystems that host a great number of vascular plant
communities. The territory of Slovenia is highly diverse regarding geomorphologic, geologic …

Macrophytes provide essential ecosystem services in lowland streams, including nutrient
uptake that can reduce downstream transport to vulnerable coastal areas. Despite that, to …

The majority of freshwater ecosystems worldwide suffer from eutrophication, particularly
because of agriculture-derived nutrient sources. In the European Union, a discrepancy …

In many lowland streams, macrophytes are highly abundant and play a key role in
ecosystem structure and function. However, no studies on annual stream metabolism have …

Macrophytes are important structural and biologically active components in many lowland
streams. Although the direct and indirect roles of macrophytes on ecosystem structure and …
