2824 Pistia stratiotes Predation/Herbivory Anecdotal Laboratory Aquatic macrophytes, including Pistia stratoites, were found to be the potential source for accumulation of heavy metals from water and wetlands. Due to this, macrophytes may serve as a potential vector of the reintroduction of heavy metals and contaminants back into the food web. 33788
2829 Pistia stratiotes Predation/Herbivory Observational Field The obstruction of sunlight caused by dense mats of Pistia stratiotes and Pontederia crassipes (water hyacinth) resulted in a reduction of the total amount of plankton and species diversity of plankton present in the impoundment being studied. This diminished primary production, and lead to a decreased level of water turbidity. 33790
