| Impact Description | Cabomba caroliniana grows in dense mats which decreases oxygen levels in the water due to a decrease in wind mixing and decaying plants decrease oxygen and increase the nutrient load in the waterbody. High levels of photosynthesis elevate pH and day-night variation causes potentially deleterious pH fluctuations at high Cabomba caroliniana biomass. Decay of large masses of Cabomba caroliniana puts elevated levels of dissolved and suspended organic matter into the water column. |
