Biology and ecology of Pontederia crassipes in a Mediterranean river in Lebanon
Invasive aquatic plants are considered the second cause of biodiversity loss in aquatic ecosystems. Pontederia crassipes Mart., formerly Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms (water hyacinth) is one of the most dangerous invasive species in the world. Since 2006, P. crassipes has invaded Lebanon’s Al Kabir River, causing ecological and socio-economic problems. To solve them, ecological and biological characteristics are important to understand the water hyacinth response to variations in environmental conditions. The aims of this study were (i) to analyze P. crassipes growth and (ii) physico-chemical parameters at two sites and (iii) to determine ecological relationships between P. crassipes and other plant species. The main results show the existence of different cohorts of water hyacinth at the two sites. Differences in growth between these cohorts are likely due to physico-chemical differences. In addition, P. crassipes coexist with other invasive and native plants. This ecological study can help ecologists and stakeholders map invasive plants in rivers and improve their control.
期刊介绍：
Aquatic Botany offers a platform for papers relevant to a broad international readership on fundamental and applied aspects of marine and freshwater macroscopic plants in a context of ecology or environmental biology. This includes molecular, biochemical and physiological aspects of macroscopic aquatic plants as well as the classification, structure, function, dynamics and ecological interactions in plant-dominated aquatic communities and ecosystems. It is an outlet for papers dealing with research on the consequences of disturbance and stressors (e.g. environmental fluctuations and climate change, pollution, grazing and pathogens), use and management of aquatic plants (plant production and decomposition, commercial harvest, plant control) and the conservation of aquatic plant communities (breeding, transplantation and restoration). Specialized publications on certain rare taxa or papers on aquatic macroscopic plants from under-represented regions in the world can also find their place, subject to editor evaluation. Studies on fungi or microalgae will remain outside the scope of Aquatic Botany.
