| Impact Description | 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 |
