Assessment of benthic barrier products for submerged aquatic weed control.

摘要

ABSTRACT The use of biodegradable products as benthic barriers to control submerged aquatic weeds and their impact on desirable native plant species was assessed in a common garden study. Five introduced invasive species (Ceratophyllum demersum, Egeria densa, Elodea canadensis, Hydrilla verticillata, Lagarosiphon major), a lesser weed (Potamogeton crispus, also introduced), and desirable native species (Myriophyllum triphyllum, Potamogeton ochreatus, an assemblage of charophytes, and oospore ri.
