Effects of climate change on growth and development of Berula erecta as model species for freshwater macrophytes University of Antwerp
Freshwater ecosystems are one of the most diverse, but also one of the most threatened ecosystems in the world. Aquatic macrophytes are highly affected by consequences of climate change like increased concentrations of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and carbon dioxide (CO2), but also changes in flow dynamics and eutrophication. Knowledge on the effects of DOC and CO2 on macrophytes, and especially their interaction effects with other effects of ...
