Establishing Native Submersed Aquatic Plant Communities in Southern Reservoirs. (1998)
Smart, R. M., Doyle, Robert D., Madsen, John D., Dick, Gary O.
Some reservoirs appear to remain turbid and unvegetated for many years, while others develop extensive macrophyte communities and are much clearer. In fact, ecological theory has long recognized the...
Unlike natural lakes, reservoirs generally do not have well-developed aquatic plant communities. As man-made ecological systems, reservoirs are relatively young and often lack aquatic plant...
