“…» Germination and seedling survival are the next 'sieves' in the life history of plants by which hydrology might play a structuring role in vegetation develop ment (Keddy & Ellis, 1985;Moore & Keddy, 1988 (Hürlimann, 1951;Van der Toorn, 1972;Haslam, 1973;Rodewald-Rudescu, 1974), Phalaris arundinacea (Junttila, Landgraff & Nilsen, 1978), S. lacustris (Seidel, 1955) and Typha spp. (Yeo, 1964;Bedish, 1967;Grace & Harrison, 1986;Frankland, Bartley & Spence, 1987;Evans & Etherington, 1990). On exposed soil surfaces, moisture availability in the germination period depends not only on the groundwater level, but is correlated with the particle size of the sediment as well (Keddy & Constabel, 1982).…”

SUMMARY 1. Seed dispersal, germination, and seedling growth characteristics of six helophyte species. Iris pseudacorus, Phalaris arundinacea, Phragmites australis, Typha angustifolia, T. latifolia and Scirpus lacustris, were investigated in relation to their water‐level zonation. 2. The experiments demonstrated a large variation in these characteristics between the species. 3. Propagule floating capacities range from < 1 h (S. lacustris) to > 1000 h (I. pseudacorus). 4. Seed germination in a water‐level gradient revealed two groups with respect to germination percentage ‐ exposed soil species (I. pseudacorus, Phalaris arundinacea, Phragmites australis) and submerged soil species (T. angustifolia, T. latifolia). 5. There were two contrasting types of seedling growth response to submergence and exposure: one group of species formed longest leaves under exposed conditions (Phalaris arundinacea, Phragmites australis, I. pseudacorus), and the other under submerged conditions (S. lacustris, T. latifolia, T. angustifolia). 6. The results suggest that early life‐history characteristics of the species relate to their locations in the riparian zonation: Phalaris arundinacea and Iris pseudacorus at the higher end, Phragmites australis intermediate, and Typha spp. and Scirpus lacustris at the lower end. Species occurring at lower locations show adaptations to (periodical) flooding of the soil (submersed germination and growth), while those from higher locations require prolonged exposed soil conditions to germinate and to survive the establishment stage.

“…According to Krattinger (1975) All species and hybrids are protogynous, with the stigmas exposed and receptive several days prior to pollen release (Smith 1967). Studies by Krattinger (1975) (b) Seed production and dispersalThe small single-seeded fruits are produced in great numbers with estimates for a single inflorescence ranging from 20 000 to 700 000 (Prunster 1941;Marsh 1962;Yeo 1964). The pistillodia distributed throughout the inflorescence act to regulate the release of fruits.…”

“…Seeds retain viability for long periods when conditions are not suitable for germination (Crocker 1938;Bedish 1967; van der Valk and Davis 1976) . Seedling establishment is likewise dependent upon adequate moisture, light, and temperature (Yeo 1964: Bedish 1967: Weller 1975: Sharma and Gopal 1979a shown to critically affect seedling survival and growth (Weller 1975;Sharma and Gopal 1979b (Krattinger 1983 (Grace and Wetzel 1981a;Dickerman and Wetzel 1985). Patterns of ramet mortality can depend dramatically on habitat conditions.…”

“…In fact, compared to the information available on terrestrial weeds (e.g., see Radosevich & Holt 1984), aquatic macrophytes remain virtually unstudied. Exceptions include Eichhomia crassipes (Watson 1984), Salvinia molesta (Room 1983), Typha latifolia (Yeo 1964;Dickerman & Wetzel 1985) and investigations of competition/co-existence (e.g., McCreary et al 1983;Titus & Stephens 1983;Keddy 1984). Ultimately, both the population dynamics and environmental requirements of aquatic weeds must be understood for the "weed" problems of lakes and rivers to be solved.…”

Macrophyte management: An integrated perspective

A concept of aquatic macrophyte management that integrates the positive and negative aspects of vegetation in lakes and rivers is discussed. This integrated approach involves three factors: macrophyte control, macrophyte enhancement, and identification and resolution of the conflicts created by multiple use of a waterbody. The primary decision in macrophyte management programmes must be whether to optimise for singlepurpose or for multipurpose use of the waterbody. Both technical (macrophyte control and enhancement) and social (conflict resolution) procedures are required to solve problems associated with the macrophyte status of multipurpose waterbodies.
