EXCELLENT resources here for those involved in #aquaticplantmanagement in the Midwest!! 💙🌱
Common waterweed (Elodea canadensis) is an important native aquatic plant in Michigan waters. Unfortunately, because we're used to seeing it, we might not notice the aggressive invader, hydrilla (Hydrilla verticillata). Can you tell the difference? (1/n) 🧵#MacrophyteMonday

And for #invasiveplants that reproduce through fragmentation, digging and pulling can create THOUSANDS of plant fragments...each potentially capable of establishing somewhere new.

#Aquaticplantmanagement isn’t simply about removing what we can see.

and #wetlands - providing #habitat for #fish and #wildlife, improve #waterquality, and supporting #biodiversity.

Excellent #lakemanagement relies on good #science - and accurate plant identification.

📣New #Cornell research: not all #aquaticplantmanagement is =. Mixed submerged + floating plants can increase methane & CO₂ in ponds, though floating mats may trap gases at the surface.

Certain communities of pond plants may increase greenhouse gases | Cornell Chronicle
The findings could lead to aquatic plant management strategies that help mitigate the release of gases such as methane, carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide.

Scientists are testing fly larvae as a #biocontrol for the genetically unique strain of #hydrilla in the northeast. While not a standalone solution, biocontrol can be an effective part of an integrated #aquaticplantmanagement strategy.

CT scientists study ‘bio controls’ to check invasive weed spread. Fly larvae tested called ‘bulldozers’
“We have shown we can reduce herbicide rates by three fourths of what they normally use and we can reduce those numbers of applications from say five in a year to one or two a year.”

...aquatic vegetation is natural infrastructure that helps retain water, support aquifers, and stabilize terrestrial and aquatic systems.

Many invasions of #aquaticplants start out innocently enough…but can quickly escalate to require a significant amount of management resources and economic support.
