“…However, the hydrological fluctuations such as water depth variation and different nutrient concentrations have great effect on the growth of the studied invasive species in mono and mixed culture and its native congener W. chinensis (Table 1 and 2). In some studies, it has been found that some wetland plants can stand against fluctuations up to 30 cm water depth without significant loss in the biomass (Wang, Zhang, et al, 2016a;Zhou et al, 2018). Additional possible description for this effect may be that both species have capability to tolerate such fluctuations of water depth and show the compensatory growth.…”

“…Further, based on the outcomes of these studies, high growth rate including physiology (Chen, Zhou, Yin, Liu, & Luo, 2013), leaf-area, shoot distribution, size, and fitness (Kleunen, Weber, et al, 2010b) were noted for invasive species, due to their reproductive capacity (Willis, Memmott, & Forrester, 2000), high resource-use efficiency (Radford, Dickinson, & Lord, 2007), fecundity (Ozaslan et al, 2016), and high phenotypic plasticity (Keser et al, 2015). Therefore, plant invasiveness may be determined under stressful conditions by considering some influencing key factors, such as physiology, biomass allocation (Godoy et al, 2011), and plant-plant interactions (Wang, Zhang, Xu, & Yu, 2016a;Zhou et al, 2018).…”

“…Areas with dense SAV in shallow lakes typically have very clear water and low concentrations of nutrients and phytoplankton [2,3]. However, a variety of studies have described large fluctuations in SAV biomass and communities due to variable water depths [4,5], which may have different consequences for ecosystem processes in lakes.…”

“…For example, dense SAV is usually found only in water ecosystems of <2 m depth [11]. Increasing water depth decreased the growth of Potamogeton perfoliatus, Myriophyllum spicatum, and Chara fragilis in terms of biomass, number of shoot nodes, and shoot length [5]. In a field experiment conducted under controlled conditions, plant length, root length, root number, and biomass of Vallisneria natans decreased as water depth increased, and the plant was absent at a water depth of 200 cm regardless of substrate type and wave exposure conditions [12].…”

“…Therefore, determining the optimal light requirement threshold to enable macrophyte growth is essential for macrophyte recovery and aquatic system management (Collier et al 2012). Thus, water depth is a major environmental factor influencing the growth, reproduction and distribution of submerged macrophytes (Strand and Weisner 2001;Wang et al 2016;Xu, Hu, Deng, Zhu, and Li 2016). Submerged macrophytes exhibit high phenotypic plasticity in response to increasing water depth.…”
