Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Three macrophyte groups developed regardless of light reaching the lake.
- Association Riparian shading significantly limited macrophyte community development.
- Association Shading extent correlated with macrophyte community structure and range.
- Association Submerged macrophytes were generally outside the effect of shade.
- Association Only macrophytes at 0.5 to 1 m depth were influenced by shade.
- Association Along the northern shore, adjacent rush growth may have reduced submerged macrophyte biomass, density, and abundance.
- Observation On the southern shore, rushes were less dense and widespread than in the north.
- Observation Southern-shore submerged macrophytes had higher biomass and species richness than northern-shore macrophytes.
