Impact ID Scientific Name Impact Type Study Type Study Location Impact Description Geographic Location Reference
2161 Nymphoides peltata Habitat Alteration Observational 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 33538
2162 Nymphoides peltata Habitat Alteration Observational Field The roots of free floating plants extract dissolved nutrients from the water, altering nutrient cycling 33538
2163 Nymphoides peltata Habitat Alteration Observational Field The undersurfaces of leaves often harbor rich communities of (epiphyton) and act as substrate for eggs of snails, beetles, hemipter and some types of fishes. 33538
2164 Nymphoides peltata Habitat Alteration Experimental Laboratory When compared to macrophyte-free sites, Nymphoides peltata dominated sites supported higher total biomass of macroinvertebrates. 28496
2166 Nymphoides peltata Habitat Alteration Observational Field N. peltata can produce dense mats of leaves in a floating canopy, which will reduce flow, reduce light penetration, lower oxygen levels, and alter nutrient cycling 33524
2169 Nymphoides peltata Habitat Alteration Observational Field Dissolved oxygen levels are affected through decomposition of large amounts of biomass. 33524
2172 Nymphoides peltata Habitat Alteration Observational Field Drainage from the water source can also be impeded when thick mats block water passageways 33524
2174 Nymphoides peltata Habitat Alteration Experimental Field Chemical composition of waters can be altered by increasing the organic content through extraction of nutrients from sediment during the growth phase followed by release to the water by leakage, decomposition or active secretion 33528
2177 Nymphoides peltata Habitat Alteration Observational Field Colonies can produce dense mats of leaves in a floating canopy, which block out sunlight for other vascular plants 33527
2187 Nymphoides peltata Habitat Alteration Experimental Field Decay of the senescing vegetation decreases the oxygen levels in water bodies, causing stagnant areas, and affecting fish farming 33525
8818 Nymphoides peltata Habitat Alteration Anecdotal N/A Dense stands of Nymphoides peltata can cause slow-moving water to become stagnant. 17115
8819 Nymphoides peltata Habitat Alteration Anecdotal N/A In large populations of yellow floating heart (Nymphoides peltata), sedimentation levels increase and could alter nearby hydrology. 28457
8820 Nymphoides peltata Habitat Alteration Anecdotal N/A In New England, dense stands of Nymphoides peltata have blocked waterways. 42558
