Turions production is the dominant means of propagation in Potamogeton crispus L. To understand how parental population and their living environmental factors influence the turions production of P. crispus L., a field research was conducted in Nansi Lake in Yellow River Flood Plain and southwestern Shandong Province, China. This study showed that P. crispus biomass and asexual turions showed an almost uniform spatial distribution pattern. Water depth, attenuation coefficient of light, sediment water content, sediment organic matter content, and pH were significantly related to P. crispus biomass, turions weight, and turions number. Single turion weight was determined only by P. crispus biomass, while turions number was simultaneously determined by P. crispus biomass and sediment water content. Turions weight mainly depended on turions number rather than single turion weight, and maternal biomass and sediment water content determined turions weight by affected turions number rather than single turion weight.

Background: The drive towards ensuring the sustainability of bioresources has been linked with better valorising primary materials and developing biorefinery pipelines. Seaweeds constitute valuable coastal resources with applications in the bioenergy, biofertiliser, nutrition, pharmaceutical and cosmetic sectors. Owing to the various sought-after metabolites they possess, several seaweed species are commercially exploited throughout Western Europe, including Ireland.

Submerged macrophytes play a key role in the restoration of shallow eutrophic lakes. However, in some subtropical lakes, benthivorous fishes dominate the fish assemblages and influence the growth of submerged plants. A comprehensive understanding of the direct and indirect effects of benthivorous fishes on submerged plants is important.

The application of seaweed extract-based biostimulants is a promising approach for achieving sustainable agriculture, with an enormous potential of improving crop yield and mitigating climate change effects. Abiotic stressors, such as drought, are major factors resulting in tomato ( L.) yield losses and seaweed-based biostimulants have been proposed as an eco-friendly strategy to counteract this negative impact.

Macrophytes are affected by many natural and human stressors globally but their long-term responses to these multiple stressors are not often quantified. We employed remote sensing and statistical tools to analyze datasets from both short-term (2017-2018) field investigations to explore seasonal patterns, and long-term (1988-2018) Landsat remote-sensing images to detect annual patterns of macrophyte distributions and study their responses to changes in climate, hydrology, and anthropogenic activities in a chain of water diversion lakes in eastern China. We found: 1) biomass and species richness of macrophytes peaked in summer with dominant species of submerged macrophytes Ceratophyllum demersum, Potamogeton pectinatus, and Potamogeton maackianus and floating macrophytes Trapa bispinosa, and non-native species Cabomba caroliniana spread in midstream Luoma Lake and Nansi Lake in summer, while Potamogeton crispus was dominant in all the lakes in spring; 2) water physicochemical parameters (chloride and water depth), lake characteristics (area and water storage), climate factors (air temperature and precipitation), and anthropogenic activities (commercial fishery and urban development) were significantly correlated to the seasonal distribution of macrophytes; 3) long-term data showed a significantly negative correlation between coverage of floating macrophytes and precipitation where the wettest year of 2003 had the lowest coverage of floating macrophytes; and 4) climate (air temperature) and hydrology (water level) were positively correlated with total macrophyte coverage, but human disturbance indexed by the gross domestic product was negatively driving long-term coverage of macrophytes.

Article Synopsis
- Submerged macrophytes are vital for clear-water conditions and biodiversity in shallow aquatic ecosystems but are declining due to human activities, highlighting the need for their inclusion in restoration efforts.
- An outdoor experiment revealed that factors like light conditions, nutrient levels, and snail herbivory impact the early growth of submerged macrophytes, with results varying by species.
- The study suggests that enhancing light availability and managing herbivore populations may improve the establishment and growth of macrophytes in spring, which is crucial for successful ecosystem restoration.
