In a series of controlled greenhouse experiments, growth and rooting depth characteristics of Hydrilla verticillata (L.f.) Royle and Myriophyllum spicatum L. were examined relative to sediment-N availability, over a range of sediment depths from 10 to 60 cm. Each species was grown separately on fine- textured, inorganic sediment, either amended with ammonium chloride (N-amended) or rendered N-poor due to previous support of submersed macrophyte growth (nonamended). For both species, diminished biomass production was accompanied by increased root-to-shoot ratios and increased rooting depth (to 60 cm) on nonamended sediment. High production levels in Myriophyllum and Hydrilla on N- amended sediment were unaffected by sediment depth, indicating (along with high tissue N concentrations) that the availability of N under those conditions was nonlimiting. With increased depth of nonamended sediment, both Hydrilla and Myriophyllum increased production and mitigated N-deficiency in plant tissues by increasing root accession of this nutrient from greater sediment depths. This ability, speculated here to be more or less developed in other macrophyte species, may affect the outcome of interspecific interactions, particularly when N concentrations in sediment are low.

Download Effects of Sediment Nitrogen Availability and Plant Density on Interactions Between the Growth of Hydrilla Verticillata and Potamogeton Americanus. Aquatic Plant Control Research Program Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This study examines the growth of Hydrilla verticillata (L.f) Royle and Potamogeton americanus C. and S. on both nitrogen-poor and nitrogen-rich sediments and assesses the nature and degree of interspecific interactions between the two species. Extensive greenhouse experiments conducted from May through July 1989 employed sediments differing initially only in sediment nitrogen (fertilized containers: 0.21 + or - 0.01 mg exchangeable N per gram dry sediment; unfertilized containers: 0.01 + or -0.00 mg exchangeable N per gram dry sediment). Species were grown monotypically, as well as in 50:50 mixtures, on each sediment type. Although shoot production did not differ between species in monoculture, shoot production in Hydrilla was diminished by 60 to 76 percent in the presence of Potamogeton. Likewise, canopy development for Hydrilla was reduced in mixtures compared to monocultures, but Potamogeton did not show a similar reduction in canopy. High sediment nitrogen increased canopy development by 50 percent in both species. Above-ground biomass for monotypically grown species was similarly low on unfertilized sediment (6 to 8 g per container). However, on fertilized sediment, aboveground biomass in Potamogeton (approaching 25 g per container) was significantly greater than in Hydrilla (approximately 15 g per container).

Download Effects of Organic Matter Additions to Sediment on the Growth of Hydrilla Verticillata Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Sediment organic water can substantially inhibit the growth of Hydrilla. Other submersed species are similarly affected (Barko and Smart 1983). The inhibitory property of sediment organic matter here was associated either directly or indirectly with high concentrations of soluble organic compounds imparted to the interstitial water. Sediments amended by additions of refractory organic matter possessed macrophyte growth-inhibiting properties for a longer period than those receiving additions of labile organic matter. Thus, the extent of macrophyte growth inhibition appears to be determined by the type as well as the amount of organic matter incorporated into the sediment. Macrophytes modify the sediment environment through both their passive reception of allochthonous materials and their direct contribution of autochthonous primary production to the sediment (Wetzel 1979; Carpenter 1981). It is intriguing to speculate that the development of unfavorable changes in sediment chemistry, associated with the presence of highly productive species such as Hydrilla, may contribute to the decline of such species. In this connection, the influence of sediment composition on the growth and distribution of rooted macrophytes, with emphasis on organic properties, deserves continued investigative attention.
