Phosphorus loading and carp disturbance synergistically promote dominance of free-floating macrophytes over submerged plant competitors by Rui Zhou, Dong Luo, Lei Li

“…Freshwater ecosystems increasingly face free-floating macrophyte invasions, which suppress submerged vegetation and phytoplankton, threatening biodiversity and ecosystem functions. Submerged macrophytes stabilize clear water conditions in shallow lakes and ponds, but anthropogenic nutrient inputs, benthic fish proliferation and other global change processes accelerate their decline, shifting ecosystems toward free-floating plant or phytoplankton dominance. …”
