How aquatic plants regulate water flow Through their physical structure and biological processes, aquatic plants create natural systems that help control flooding, reduce erosion, and maintain healthy water cycles. At the most basic level, aquatic plants act as natural barriers that slow down water movement, with root systems capable of [...]
Aquatic plants' role in bioremediation Pollutants like heavy metals and organic compounds are introduced into critical water resources via industries, agriculture, and other human-related activities. These contaminants lower water quality and deplete oxygen levels, negatively impacting local ecosystems and human health. However, a diverse range of aquatic plant species possess [...]
