The influences of submerged vegetation Hydrilla verticillata on forms of inorganic and organic phosphorous forms and potentially exchangeable phosphate in sediments were investigated under indoors simulating condition. The results show that: (1) Hydrilla verticillata can decrease the amount of OM, CEC and TP evidently ( p < 0.05) and activate the phosphate in sediments. (2) In the forms of inorganic phosphorus, the NaOH-P was significantly influenced (p<0.01) and the labile organic P in the forms of organic P was influenced to a certainty (p < 0.1), while no significant differences were made to the other forms of phosphorous. (3) Hydrilla verticillata can affect the amount of potentially exchangeable phosphate of the sediments, which increased 11.5% for the vegetation-group and decreased 61.0% for the control group during the period of the experiments. The change orientation was oppositional and the degree of change was quite different. This testified that Hydrilla verticillata could increase the amount of potentially exchangeable phosphate of sediments.

Communities with high native species diversity tend to be less susceptible to the establishment of invasive species, especially in studies that test their local impact. This study investigated the impact of competition between native submerged aquatic macrophytes (SAMs) ( and ) and the exotic , recognized for its invasive potential in aquatic ecosystems, through a mesocosm experiment conducted over six months. Two treatments were evaluated: the intraspecific competition of and an interspecific competition involving all three species.

Heat stress disturbs cellular homeostasis and alters the fitness of individual organisms. However, it is unclear whether thermal perturbations exacerbate the toxic effects of per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFASs) on trophic endpoints in freshwater ecosystems. We conducted a mesocosm experiment to investigate the impact of warming and PFASs on the widespread submerged macrophytes (Hydrilla verticillata) at a molecular level.

Biochemical methane potential tests using water hyacinth (WH), pretreated water hyacinth (PWH), and Hydrilla verticillata (HV) as substrates using sewage media were explored. This study replaced the freshwater required to prepare the slurry for AD of organic solid waste with domestic sewage. Cow dung was used as the inoculum.

Sulfamethoxazole (SMX) and its human metabolite N-acetylsulfamethoxazole (N-SMX) are frequently detected in aquatic environments, posing potential threats to freshwater ecosystem health. Constructed wetlands are pivotal for wastewater treatment, with plant species serving as key determinants of pollutant removal efficiency. In this study, wetlands dominated by three submerged plants (Myriophyllum verticillatum, Vallisneria spiralis, Hydrilla verticillata) were respectively constructed to investigate the removal of SMX and N-SMX, and the impact on wetland ecology regarding plant tolerance, microbial response, and nitrogen transformation.
