Distribution and abundance of the invasive seagrass Halophila stipulacea and associated benthic macrofauna in Carriacou, Grenadines, Eastern Caribbean
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The invasive seagrass Halophila stipulacea has spread throughout the eastern Caribbean since it was first recorded in Grenada in 2002. We quantified the distribution and abundance of H. stipulacea, and its associated ... -
How Characean algae take up needed and excrete unwanted ions – An overview explaining how insights from electrophysiology are useful to understand the ecology of aquatic macrophytes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Characean algae have been a model plant for electrophysiology for many decades, due to the large size of the internodal cells and their robust recovery from invasive manipulation. The information gained from them has ... -
Juncus bulbosus nuisance growth in oligotrophic freshwater ecosystems: Different triggers for the same phenomenon in rivers and lakes?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Since the 1980s nuisance growth of the aquatic macrophyte Juncus bulbosus has been observed in an increasing number of rivers and lakes in Europe. Freshwater acidification, lake liming, as well as the impact of hydropower ... -
Light acclimation in submerged macrophytes: The roles of plant elongation, pigmentation and branch orientation differ among Chara species
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Light acclimation plays a fundamental role for plant survival. Using an experimental setup where light could only penetrate from above, we studied light acclimation of Chara intermedia and C. contraria, i.e. submerged ... -
Short-term effects of macrophyte removal on emission of CO2 and CH4 in shallow lakes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Mass development of macrophytes in freshwater ecosystems is today considered a worldwide problem and substantial resources are spent on macrophyte removal each year. By removing the dominant primary producer, however, this ... -
The role of charophytes (Charales) in past and present environments: An overview
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Charophytes, i.e. extant and fossil members of the order Charales plus the members of the extinct orders Sycidiales and Moellerinales, are closely related to modern land plants. These algae have a complex morphology, and ...
