Abstract: Macrophytes may constitute an important resource for several chemical, physical and biological processes within aquatic ecosystems. This study considers that in tropical reservoirs with low retention time and with low values of shoreline development (D L ), the expansion and persistence of aquatic macrophytes are mainly reported to local conditions (e.g., hydrodynamic and wind exposure) rather than trophic status and depth of the euphotic zone. In this context, this study aimed at describing and comparing the … Show more

“…They proved that the limnological changes derived from this WLF act as indirect factors of the structuring, and concluded that the limnological variables act only as moderator factors of the interspecific interactions in Post-WLF situations. Other works verified the extraordinary capacity of the interspecific interactions between macrophytes to influence the growth of biomass of these plants (Camargo and Florentino, 2000;Byun et al, 2017) or the low relation between physical-chemical variables of the water and structuring of aquatic macrophyte communities in tropical reservoirs (Cunha-Santino et al, 2016).…”

“…The present understanding of the ecology of aquatic ecosystems does not yet allow to delineate structuring of macrophyte communities in environments periodically influenced by water level fluctuations (WLF), such as artificial lakes (Zohary and Ostrovsky, 2011;Cunha-Santino et al, 2016;Moura Júnior et al, 2016). The intensity and duration of a WLF exerts relevant influence on the limnological conditions and on the ecological processes structuring aquatic communities, including the macrophytes (Wetzel, 2001).…”

“…Wave disturbance (wind generated) is one of the most important factors that prevents macrophyte colonization of shallow areas (Spence 1982;Chambers 1987), including in the Itaipu Reservoir (Thomaz et al 2003;. Wave disturbance reduces plant colonization and damages macrophyte tissues (Neiff et al 2000;Doyle 2001;Cunha-Santino et al 2016). This damage reduces the colonization and plant biomass in places with greater wave impact, that is, in shallower places (Keddy 1982).…”
