Commentsseems less robust than 1 year ago; Here for 2 days to collect frequency and biomass data. Weather rainy day 1, cloudy and breezy day 2 Water surface temp 15 C. Flowering rush seems more sparse in much of the lake, not as tall as would be expected, especially in the treatment area. Other species except macroalgae and P. amplifolius also seemed reduced. The weather has not been unusually cold this spring.
