Effects of Sediment Composition on Growth of Submersed Aquatic Vegetation

John W. Barko, R. Michael Smart

Open full text 5 citations

Abstract

Continued).sediment mass.Diminished growth on organic sediments occurred at low values of sediment density, and on sands at high values of sediment density.Differential centrifugation of organic sediment , facilitating an increase in sediment density with no change in organic matter content, stimulated Hydrilla growth, indicating that sediment density rather than organic matter content was most influential in regulating growth.
