8853 Potamogeton crispus Water Quality Benefit Anecdotal N/A When dense stands of curlyleaf pondweed (Potamogeton crispus) die off midsummer, it can have a drastic effect on the water quality. A large amount of phosphorus is released into the water, which can lead to eutrophic waters and possible algal blooms. 25593
8854 Potamogeton crispus Water Quality Benefit Anecdotal N/A As Potamogeton crispus (curly-leaf pondweed) plant matter decomposes, the concentration of oxygen in the water can drop significantly and possibly impact fish. 25601
8863 Potamogeton crispus Water Quality Benefit Experimental Laboratory Potamogeton crispus (curly-leaf pondweed) is able to remove dibutyl phthalate and phthalic acid esters when grown experimentally in contaminated water. 24906
8864 Potamogeton crispus Water Quality Benefit Experimental Laboratory Experiments conducted in China showed that Potamogeton crispus (curly-leaf pondweed) is capable of removing nitrogen from eutrophic water and sediment, thus improving the water quality. China 42501
8865 Potamogeton crispus Water Quality Benefit Experimental Laboratory Curlyleaf pondweed (Potamogeton crispus) is able to uptake cerium, cobalt, cesium, and their isotopes, indicating that it could be used to treat low-level liquid radioactive waste. 42572
8866 Potamogeton crispus Water Quality Benefit Experimental Laboratory Potamogeton crispus (curly-leaf pondweed) is also able to remove cadmium from water, but at the cost of decreased photosynthesis. 38025
8867 Potamogeton crispus Water Quality Benefit Experimental Laboratory Populations of Potamogeton crispus (curly-leaf pondweed) have no effect on dissolved oxygen concentrations, slightly increase the pH, and reduce the total dissolved solids and the nitrogen concentration, leading to an overall improvement in water quality. 42502
