Water crowfoot (Ranunculus penicillatus subsp. pseudofluitans (Syme) S. Webster) plants were grown in two artificial recirculating rivers, in one of which the phosphate concentration of the input was raised from 40 gPl-1 to 200 gPl-1. Fennel pondweed (Potamogeton pectinatus L.) plants were planted as a competitor in association with 50% of the Ranunculus clumps. Chemical concentrations of the major elements in the water were measured weekly. Filamentous algae grew in profusion in the channel with added phosphate (0.77 T fresh weight), compared with an immeasurably low amount in the control channel. After 100 days the plants were removed, dried and weighed and the tissue concentrations of the major elements were...
ScienceBase brings together the best information it can find about USGS researchers and offices to show connections to publications, projects, and data. We are still working to improve this process and information is by no means complete.
