Estimated light compensation depth explains growth of Stuckenia pectinata in Te Waihora

On the move: New insights on the ecology and management of native and alien macrophytes

“…Salinity and light levels strongly influenced the growth of Stuckenia pectinata in a degraded coastal lake. By combining field and laboratory measurements, Hu et al (2019) (this VSI) confirmed the observed current maximum colonization depth of this submerged macrophyte. An often neglected component of plants are the roots or root zone.…”
