1561 records

59 distinct species

Across the time series Eleocharis sp is the most frequently occurring species

Methods

Three 1m2 throws are made within a few meters of each site center. Within each throw all emergent macrophytes are counted (live and dead) and recorded. Submerged periphyton-associated aquatic vegetation are identified and recorded as a percentage of the total periphyton component. Macrophyte cover is recorded in percent cover and average plant height is determined from three representative plants. Water depth is also recorded as an average of three depths. ____ Sampling Description: Macrophytes were identified within each throw and density and coverage was recorded. Submerged aquatic vegetation were identified and density recorded as a percentage of the total periphyton component. Description: Macrophytes were identified within each throw and density and coverage was recorded. Submerged aquatic vegetation were identified and density recorded as a percentage of the total periphyton component. Instrumentation: Macrophyte heights were determined using a meter sticksubmerged aquatic vegetation composition in periphyton is determined using a graduated cylinder Three 1m2 throws are made within a few meters of each site center. Within each throw all emergent macrophytes are counted (live and dead) and recorded. Unit of abundance = IndCountInt, Unit of biomass = NA
