Study TypeExperimental
Study LocationLaboratory
Impact DescriptionIn a mesocosm study, yield (biomass) of Myriophyllum aquaticum was positively related to tissue nitrogen content, suggesting that high levels of nitrogen contribute to nuisance levels of growth. However, high levels of phosphorus favored the growth of algae (superior competitors in phosphorus uptake) causing shading in the water column and suppressing the growth of M. aquaticum.
