“…These differences regarding the presence, or not, of a subsurface sector and its size might be causing the greatest differences between the inner sites in TM and those in the other two CWs. Moreover, the presence of reeds (P. australis) along this sector in TM, and their allelopathic effect on Microcystis aeruginosa (Kützing) Kützing 1846 (Chicalote-Castillo et al, 2017) might be related to the sharp decrease observed in this species after water flowed through the CW (up to 20 times lower biovolume in the Outlet than in the Inlet). Related to this, macrophytes in CWs also have a strong influence on the structure and dynamics of the plankton community, since their coverage is a major factor strongly modifying light conditions (Travaini-Lima et al, 2016).…”

The effectiveness of constructed wetlands (CWs) created to improve water quality has been demonstrated. However, their role in enhancing biodiversity, such as in plankton communities, is still understudied. To assess this, we analysed, over two years, the plankton of three structurally different CWs which are intermediaries between low-quality waters and a protected Mediterranean wetland (Albufera de València Natural Park). We estimated the alpha-diversity of each CW and the beta-diversity among their different sectors. In two CWs, the diversity decreased as water flowed from the Inlet (a species mix from anthropically disturbed environments) to the Outlet, due to natural assembly processes. In the other CW, as it received water dominated by a few species, the emerging assemblages increased the diversity. Moreover, comparing the three CWs, the most divergent communities were those in the outlets (due to the emergence of exclusive species, biovolume differences, etc.). Therefore, they contributed to beta-diversity as they acted as generators of communities, which were characterized by the loss of cyanobacteria and chlorophytes, the dominance of large copepods or cladocerans and the presence of unshared species. We emphasize the importance of having structurally and functionally different CWs to enhance biodiversity and improve biological water quality in natural parks.

“…contained phenol and gallic acid as a prominent compound. Gallic acid and the organic acid ethyl 2-methyl acetoacetate (EMA) methyl acetoacetate were isolated from root exudates, whereas taraxerol and taraxeron from the leaves [193]. High cellulose and lignin were also reported in the aqueous solution of Phragmites australis [194].…”

Several biologically active secondary metabolites from aquatic plants have been extracted and identified using modern instrumental BioTechniques and used in various ways as flavors, food, additives, coloring agents, nutraceuticals, cosmetics, and also as unique source of pharma industries for the discovery or development of new drugs. From algae to aquatic macrophytes belonging to various categories, aquatic plants produce a variety of compounds such as polyketides, peptides, alkaloids, flavonoids, phenolic compounds, terpenes, steroids, quinones, tannins, coumarins, and essential oils commercially involving in antibiotic, antiviral, antioxidant, antifouling, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, cytotoxic, and antimitotic activities; thus making them a rich source of medicinal compounds. Moreover, they are comprehensively used in human therapy, veterinary, agriculture, scientific research, and in countless areas. Importantly these chemicals are exercised for developing new antimicrobial and cancer drugs. Furthermore, antioxidant molecules in aquatic plants and seaweeds have recently been acknowledged. This review contains a consolidated contemporary document consisting of entire knowledge available on pharmaceutical products of aquatic plants and highlights major differences among secondary metabolites found in aquatic (algae) and terrestrial plants.

Los florecimientos de cianobacterias tóxicas son una amenaza para la salud de los ecosistemas acuáticos y de los seres humanos en todo el mundo. En el presente trabajo, mediante un análisis documental, se cuantificó el número de las plantas acuáticas y terrestres reportadas para control de estos florecimientos y las metodologías que se utilizan para determinar la actividad alelopática, con el objetivo de proporcionar a los investigadores un panorama general de los avances realizados en la última década. Se identificaron 74 especies de plantas, 44 macrófitas acuáticas y 30 terrestres. Según la CE50, los compuestos puros son más eficientes que los extractos crudos, con la desventaja de ser más costosos. Finalmente, se determinó que existen 4 técnicas para analizar la actividad alelopática de las plantas sobre las cianobacterias, siendo la experimentación en mesocosmos y en coexistencia las que más se aproximan a las condiciones naturales de un cuerpo de agua.
