Annemarie de Keizer‚ it was theorized that one type of aquatic plant may be a better competitor for sunlight than another plant that is more of a bottom dweller. They argue that “P. pectinatus and C. aspera have different growth forms and the canopy forming P. pectinatus may be a better competitor for light than the bottom-covering C.aspera.” to support this first argument. In addition they also put forth a second argument in that the bottom dwelling aquatic plant may‚ in the long run‚ be a better competitor

Ecology - is the scientific study of interactions among organisms and their environment‚ organisms have with each other‚ and with their abiotic environment. Topics of interest to ecologists include the diversity‚ distribution‚ amount (biomass)‚ number (population) of organisms‚ as well as competition between them within and among ecosystems. Ecosystems are composed of dynamically interacting parts including organisms‚ the communities they make up‚ and the non-living components of their environment

adhesives Abstract Water hyacinth was introduced as an ornamental crop species in many countries more than a century ago‚ because of their attractive blue‚ lilac to purplish flowers and round to oval leaves. They were supplied to many gardeners and horticulture institutes and were supposed to be a prized species. Soon‚ it was realized to be an invasive species due to their adaptability to a wide type of fresh water ecosystems and interference with human activities. Thus a huge amount of money

bears‚ etc. Zebra mussels are small triangle shaped shells and are usually a brown color with stripes. In fresh water ecosystems they can act as filters for plankton‚ by clearing the water sunlight can reach deeper into the water; this lets more aquatic animals to grow. Although they do provide benefits to our ecosystem they can also be very damaging; they can clog pipes‚ they eat phytoplankton which leaves less food for fish and zooplankton. They tend to grow on manmade structures which affect the

Although sometimes considered only as transitions zones between aquatic and terrestrial environments wetlands actually are true ecosystems‚ holding very peculiar attributes. Florida is surrounded by many different types of ecosystems which makes this particular State a very unique place to live. Rivers‚ springs‚ ponds
