Fragrant water lily is a nice addition to the inshore waters of a lake! This native aquatic plant provides shade for fish, cooling off water temps & creating ideal habitat.

Coontail (Ceratophyllum demersum) is a native aquatic plant important for supporting #wildlife with food and #habitat in #aquatic systems. Color can vary from a light green to almost black in color, and it can form large mats near the water surface.

#SCAPMS #MacrophyteMonday

Be a responsible water gardener! Use native #aquaticplants in your ornamental pond or shoreline. Native plants provide the balance of ecosystem services that wildlife need.

While #cattails can be invasive in some aquatic systems, they have a long history of use by Native Americans for food, fuel, medicine, insulation, etc.

Likely the result of an aquarium disposal, Hygrophila is native to the East Indies & quickly invades slow moving waters…hence it is on the USDA Federal Noxious Weed List.

Invasive #aquaticplants are #MenacingMacrophytes . #Waterhyacinth infestation acts like 'plastic wrap' on aquatic systems...essentially smothering the wildlife underwater.

It’s #MacrophyteMonday ! Thanks to everyone who workshopped aquatic plant #CitizenScience at UCL East campus today. Photos show artist Rob Rivers showing some ecologists how to make paper from algae - a lost technique that can tell us about past relationships between people and rivers.

#Salvinia a free-floating aquatic fern. I saw it in a manatee pond at the Botanical Gardens in my hometown, Georgetown, Guyana. The manatees were not interested in the Salvinia. I wonder why🤔 Pretty plant but it is quite the invasive in the southern US. #ferns #MacrophyteMonday

#MacrophyteMonday #tattoo reveal 4/4! The inside of my upper arm displays one of my favorite plants and a #zooplankton [ironically] new to my #Dissertation research. Any ID guesses??

Another #MacrophyteMonday coming your way! #Tattoo reveal 3/4 with another non-plant buddy in the mix ☺️ Can you name any of the species?

Najas species inhabit waters worldwide.

All species have long, narrow leaves with toothed margins.

Can today get any better.....? #macrophytemonday

Always good to start the week with a quality Scottish #beaver wetland. This one even included the nationally scarce pillwort. #macrophytemonday #Castor

Wow! Nice technique! #MacrophyteMonday

There are several species of #waterprimrose that are problematic in #aquaticsystems . #BOLO for these sneaky invaders!

What better way to kick off #LakesAppreciationMonth but with a #MacrophyteMonday WIDNR bonanza style point intercept survey on Berlin Pond with Rubenstein School intern Izzy Anderson! Can’t wait to see what the macrophytes tell us about the health of this pond!
