• Causes of macrophyte mass development and management recommendations 

      Schneider, Susanne C; Coetzee, Julie A.; Galvanese, Elena Fukasawa; Harpenslager, Sarah Faye; Hilt, Sabine; Immerzeel, Bart; Köhler, Jan; Misteli, Benjamin; Motitsoe, Samuel N.; Padial, Andre A.; Petruzzella, Antonella; Schechner, Anne; Thiébaut, Gabrielle; Thiemer, Kirstine; Vermaat, Jan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)
      Aquatic plants (macrophytes) are important for ecosystem structure and function. Macrophyte mass developments are, however, often perceived as a nuisance and are commonly managed by mechanical removal. This is costly and ...

    • Mass development of aquatic plants: Effects of contrasting management scenarios on a suite of ecosystem services 

      Vermaat, Jan E.; Thiemer, Kirstine; Immerzeel, Bart; Schneider, Susanne Claudia; Sebola, Keneilwe; Coetzee, Julie; Petruzella, Antonella; Motitsoe, Samuel N.; Baldo, Mathieu; Misteli, Benjamin; Thiébaut, Gabrielle; Hilt, Sabine; Köhler, Jan; Harpenslager, Sarah F. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      1. Dense beds of aquatic plants are often perceived as nuisance and therefore mechanically removed, often at substantial cost. Such removal, however, may affect a range of ecosystem functions and consequently also the ...
    • Short-term effects of macrophyte removal on aquatic biodiversity in rivers and lakes 

      Misteli, Benjamin; Pannard, Alexandrine; Aasland, Eirin; Harpenslager, Sarah Faye; Motitsoe, Samuel; Thiemer, Kirstine; Llopis, Stéphanie; Coetzee, Julie; Hilt, Sabine; Köhler, Jan; Schneider, Susanne Claudia; Piscart, Christophe; Thiébaut, Gabrielle (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Mass development of macrophytes is an increasing problem in many aquatic systems worldwide. Dense mats of macrophytes can negatively affect activities like boating, fishing or hydropower production and one of the management ...
