Production and decomposition in the emergent littoral zone of Lake Maarsseveen 1, an overview

Production and decomposition in the emergent littoral zone of Lake Maarsseveen 1, an overview The emergent zone of Lake Maarsseveen I, which occupies 1.3% of the total surface area of the lake, is dominated byPhragmites australis. Growth characteristics of aboveground structures of this reed are presented, as well as nutrient and carbon contents. The former also for the rhizomes. Data are presented on decomposition of leaves and stems of the reed.

Abstract

The emergent zone of Lake Maarsseveen I, which occupies 1.3% of the total surface area of the lake, is dominated byPhragmites australis. Growth characteristics of aboveground structures of this reed are presented, as well as nutrient and carbon contents. The former also for the rhizomes. Data are presented on decomposition of leaves and stems of the reed. A description is given of the development of periphytic architecture on dead reed stems, and its relation to submerse and light distribution within-perifyton.
