“…However, this assumption is becoming more imperfect as this community recovers. In 1991, 13% of the littoral zone (represents ~15% of lake surface area; Effler 1996) had macrophytes (Madsen et al 1996). By 2000 about 70% of the littoral zone had plants (Madsen, personal communication).…”

“…The high Ca 2+ concentrations promoted coagulation (Weilenmann et al 1989), and thus increased deposition losses of particles (including phytoplankton) from the upper productive layers . Macrophyte growth was greatly limited during the operation of the facility by limited light penetration, high S, and alteration of the near-shore sediments by the industry's wastes (Madsen et al 1996).…”

“…However, when non-native plants invade littoral zone habitat, changes in biotic and abiotic interactions often occur (Madsen 1998). The growth of non-native species often results in reductions in littoral zone plant species, resulting in decreases in fish production (Savino and Stein 1989), increases in sediment resuspension, turbidity, and algal production; the latter will further exacerbate plant loss (Madsen et al 1996, Doyle 2000, Case and Madsen 2004, Wersal et al 2006). …”

“…Aquatic plants are important to lake ecosystems (Madsen et al 1996, Wetzel 2001 and are essential in promoting the diversity and function of an aquatic system (Carpenter and Lodge 1986). Littoral zone habitat and associated plants may be responsible for a significant proportion of primary production for the entire lake (Ozimek et al 1990, Wetzel 2001.…”

A field demonstration was developed linking herbicide application methods with site-specific water exchange patterns to selectively control infestations of Eurasian watermilfoil (EWM) and curlyleaf pondweed (CLP) in Noxon Rapids Reservoir, MT. Objectives of this work are to evaluate speciesselective control of these invasive plants employing innovative herbicide application techniques; and to provide recommendations for invasive plant management in the reservoir, and similar impoundments in the Pacific Northwest. Bulk water exchange patterns occurring in plant stands selected for herbicide applications were determined using rhodamine WT (RWT) tracer dye. These site-specific patterns were matched with appropriate herbicide application rates required to selectively control target plants. Treatments were conducted using a variable-depth injection system, simultaneously applying RWT and herbicides to provide maximum chemical contact time around plants stands. In late July 2009, two plots (8.2-11.5 ha) were treated using combinations of RWT (10 µg/L), triclopyr (1300 -1850 µg/L), and endothall (1890 -2500 µg/L). Dye (in situ) and herbicide residues (via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) were measured through the water column, inside and outside of the plots. Applications were conducted to coincide with the minimum reservoir discharge patterns. Whole plot water exchange half-lives ranged from 16 to 33 hr. Herbicide residues were highest around plants growing in the lower half of the water column (19-48 hr). External herbicide dissipation patterns were below levels of environmental/human health concerns. Treatments provided selective control of EWM for two years (> 85%) and CLP for one year (> 75%). Native plant species richness and dissolved oxygen levels were unchanged in treatment plots during the study period.

ABSTRACT:In the present study Mg, Al, Si, P, S, Cl, K, Ca, Mn, Fe, Zn, Ag, Sr contents were determined by X-ray fluorescence analysis in sediments and organisms of Contectiana listeri and Potamogeton lucens L. of Lake Ilmenskoe located on the territory of the Ilmen State Reserve (South Ural, Russia). It was shown that microelements-rich sapropels are formed in the Lake Ilmenskoe. The Lake Ilmenskoe is free of anthropogenic impact and may be regarded as models while assessing the lakes under anthropogenic impact. The average element composition of macrophytes, gastropod shells and muscles, sapropel and sandy sediment were compared with the clarkes of elements in the continental crust with a preliminary aluminium rating, aluminium being the least fluent and abiogenic element of the system 'sediment -hydrobiont'. Sapropel was particular rich in microelements in comparison with sandy sediments. Study is shown that most elements are accumulated in aquatic organisms. Contectiana listeri and Potamogeton lucens L. may be considered as geochemical barriers. They can be used as biomonitors. We found out that low-iron, lowcalcium, low-ash sapropel was forming in Lake Ilmenskoe.
