In this work the PIXE technique was used to study the mechanism of metal sorption by dead biomass. Several batch copper-sorption experiments were performed by using Egeria densa biomass. PIXE measurements were performed in solid and liquid samples. Element concentrations in biosorbent samples were determined using the Clara software. Based on the mass balance among the major elements in the liquid and solid phases before and after the Cu-removal experiments, an ion exchange process is suggested as the main mechanism.

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.

Controlling light qualities have been acknowledged as an effective method to enhance the efficiency of phytoremediation, as light has a significant impact on plant growth. This study examined the effects of light qualities on cadmium (Cd) tolerance in aquatic plant Egeria densa using a combination of biochemical and transcriptomic approaches. The study revealed that E.

Among the various pollutants detected in aquatic ecosystems, cadmium (Cd) is considered as one of the most hazardous. Freshwater macrophytes have been recognized as possible candidates for eliminating Cd from environment. Nevertheless, the impact of light quality on their ability to tolerate Cd toxicity remains unclear, and the underlying mechanisms have yet to be fully elucidated.

Macrophytes play a significant role in shaping plankton communities by shading, controlling water turbulence, and nutrient availability, while also producing allelochemicals causing varying effects on different organisms. Many researchers have shown that when live macrophytes are present, they inhibit cyanobacteria. However, their widespread use is often limited due to numerous concerns, including invasive characteristics.

The development of aquatic plant beds can obstruct boat traffic, hinder the practice of water activities, and impact the functioning of freshwaters. In order to mitigate their effects, mechanical removal is often the preferred management solution. The objective of this study was to test, in mesocosms, the effect of frequency (none, one, and two cuts) and cutting dates (May and/or July) on the regeneration and colonization capabilities of the aquatic plant , an invasive alien species in France.
