Field
|
When associated with other common free floating plants such as duckweeds, Salvinia natans, and ricciocarpus natans, these plants (Nymphoides, Nelumbo, Nymphaea, potamogeton spp.) influence light climate and species composition very drastically. Both groups shield the underlying water from sunlight thereby inhibiting photosynthesis and oxygen production.

Competition
|
Observational
|
Field
|
One-sided competition from N. peltata has a profound effect on the submerged aquatic plant community due to its ability to outcompete submerged vegetation for light.

Experimental

Laboratory
|
Nymphoides peltata showed a rapid increase of mean leaf area when competing with floating-leaved T. bispinosa and submerged M. spicatum. They invested much more biomass to their above-ground parts, to cover the water surface and interfere the growth of T. bispinosa and M. spicatum
