| For example, flooding or large storm events can dislodge large biomasses of aquatic macrophytes that will foul the intake structures. |
| Emergent macrophytes are a major source of organic matter production in freshwater wetlands, and often represent the bulk of the plant material entering the detrital pool. |
| The shade effect of these layers can reduce the productivity of macrophytes below the canopy. |
| Dense growths of aquatic macrophytes are generally objectionable to the swimmer, diver, water-skier, and scuba enthusiast. |
| The most frequently emergent macrophytes used are reeds, bulrushes, cattails, rushes and sedges. |
| These models predict the impacts of contaminants in both water and sediments as they are taken up by aquatic macrophytes and ingested by animals. |
