Growth response to nitrate enrichment helps facilitate success of an alien Potamogeton in New Zealand streams

Motivated by stream ecosystem degradation by eutrophication, we mimicked slow flowing lowland stream conditions with a novel experimental setup to further our understanding of aquatic plant responses to increases in nitrate and light. We conducted a mesocosm growth experiment of two species from the...
