“…We recorded the maximum limit of chloride concentration that P. pectinatus can tolerate in the Mleczna River. Although we noted the optimal conditions for the chloride concentration range that P. pectinatus can tolerate in the Mleczna River, its unstable saltwater supply can quickly change these concentrations to unfavourable ones (Kaijser et al, 2019). According to Teeter (1965), at a chloride concentration of 1800 mg dm −3 (similar values were recorded in the lower course of the Mleczna River), P. pectinatus begins to form tubers as a response to stress, and at 5500 mg dm −3 , the growth of this species is inhibited, while the species completely dies at a chloride concentration of 9000 mg dm −3 .…”

“…In addition, research on macrophytes in strongly anthropogenically saline rivers and in rivers with little or no impact of human activity is important for assessing their salinity tolerance range. This is especially important for correctly assessing the ecological quality of flowing waters in terms of salinity (Kaijser et al, 2019).…”

“…Aquatic organisms reflect not only the current conditions of water but also the factors that have prevailed for a long time in the past. Macrophytes enable to assess the degree of degradation of flowing waters, primarily in terms of their trophy; they are also used to assess acidification and river degradation in a more holistic or integrative manner (Szoszkiewicz et al, 2010;Kaijser et al, 2019). Aquatic vegetation responds to changes in the levels of water, light, salinity, turbidity and toxic contaminants such as herbicides and heavy metals, and it also responds strongly to any changes in the hydromorphological parameters of rivers (Bis, 2008;Abati et al, 2016).…”

The quality of water in rivers is declining worldwide due to anthropogenic activities. This phenomenon may be exacerbated by climate change and population growth. We hypothesised that both physical and chemical parameters of water, which reflect the differences in the underlying geology and anthropogenic transformations, are the most important characteristics to explain the distribution of macrophytes in rivers. In the present study, we analysed the effect of anthropogenic transformation on the structure of macrophytes in eight rivers within the river basins of the Vistula and Oder Rivers (Southern Poland). A canonical correspondence analysis showed that conductivity, altitude, natural features of rivers and adjacent land use, which are indicated by the values of the Hydromorphological Diversity Index (WRH), and medium sand were the most important factors that affected the distribution of macrophytes. The eurytopic species, including invasive alien species, were negatively correlated with the WRH index and positively correlated with high conductivity. An increase in the conductivity led to a loss of vegetation diversity and caused the replacement of freshwater species with brackish or salt-resistant species. Salinity of 2.96–5.16 PSU decreased the number of macrophyte taxa by over 30% in the rivers as compared to salinity of 0.45–0.64 PSU. Because very few studies have investigated the effect of salinity on macrophytes, further research is needed to explain this phenomenon. We therefore suggest extensive use of hydromorphological indices in studies on the distribution of macrophytes in rivers.

“…Because of environmental disturbances, M. spicatum is easily broken to form apical fragments and then it is possible for them to develop into robust new plants and gradually settle to form colonies. M. spicatum can also tolerate both fresh and brackish water [ 102 , 103 ]. This tolerance range allows M. spicatum to live under a wide range of salinity and different oxidative stress conditions.…”

Restoration cases with hydrophytes (those which develop all their vital functions inside the water or very close to the water surface, e.g., flowering) are less abundant compared to those using emergent plants. Here, I synthesize the latest knowledge in wetland restoration based on revegetation with hydrophytes and stress common challenges and potential solutions. The review mainly focusses on natural wetlands but also includes information about naturalized constructed wetlands, which nowadays are being used not only to improve water quality but also to increase biodiversity. Available publications, peer-reviewed and any public domain, from the last 20 years, were reviewed. Several countries developed pilot case-studies and field-scale projects with more or less success, the large-scale ones being less frequent. Using floating species is less generalized than submerged species. Sediment transfer is more adequate for temporary wetlands. Hydrophyte revegetation as a restoration tool could be improved by selecting suitable wetlands, increasing focus on species biology and ecology, choosing the suitable propagation and revegetation techniques (seeding, planting). The clear negative factors which prevent the revegetation success (herbivory, microalgae, filamentous green algae, water and sediment composition) have to be considered. Policy-making and wetland restoration practices must more effectively integrate the information already known, particularly under future climatic scenarios.

Shrimp farming is one of the most important worldwide developed sectors; however, this development has induced a series of negative environmental impacts. One strategy to reduce these impacts is the integration or co‐culture of shrimp farming with agriculture. The integration of shrimp farming with commercial plants has been carried out with the objective of minimizing the environmental impact through the use of biosolids and effluents enriched with nutrients, taking advantage of available resources and generating greater income for producers. The aim of this review was to present the state of the art of integrated shrimp–vascular plant culture, focus on those plants with commercial interest and describe the different forms of integration. We reviewed over 158 studies dealing with integrated shrimp–plant cultures at different salinities, as well as the influence of salinity in the performance of both biological components. Plants suitable for the integration with shrimp farming are also examined, including advantages and disadvantages. Finally, several features that require further research are identified.
