| Impact Description | Furthermore, Bangia atropurpurea can only support larval chironomids, while native Cladophora supports a larger diversity of macroinvertebrates . Whether this will have an impact on invertebrate composition hinges upon the ability of Bangia atropurpurea to outcompete Cladophora. This lack of quantity and diversity of algal epiphytes could negatively impact the littoral food web. |
