“…It inhabits especially still waters, preferably with large solar radiation and organic matter (Piedade et al 2019). The species is used as food by the Amazon manatee when in captivity (Kissmann 1991), has medicinal potential (Rahman et al 2011) and assists in the removal of heavy metals (Espinoza-Quiñones et al 2009).…”

Amazon wetlands are among the most vulnerable ecosystem to be impacted by climate change, which may increase the frequency of extreme droughts and floods. We used Eichhornia crassipes and Pistia stratiotes, two abundant aquatic plants in the Amazon floodplains, to evaluate the effects of combined temperature and [CO 2 ] increase on growth, physiology and ecological interactions. Individual and paired plants were deposited for three weeks in a microcosm under four IPCC scenarios: control (current temperature/CO 2 ), mild (control + 1.5 ºC, 200 ppm CO 2 ), intermediate (control + 2.5 ºC, 450 ppm CO 2 ) and extreme (control + 3.5 ºC, 850 ppm CO 2 ). P. stratiotes died after three weeks in the intermediate and extreme treatments; E. crassipes experienced no mortality or change in any of the measured variables during the same period. P. stratiotes reduced root length in the mild treatment and reduced total dry biomass in intermediate and extreme treatments, revealing less tolerance to climate change. Ecological interactions between the two species changed with increasing [CO 2 ] and temperature neutral interaction changed to facilitation for E. crassipes, while competitive interaction changed to neutral for P. stratiotes. Global climate change may alter the composition, biomass and ecological interactions of Amazonian aquatic plant species.
