Composition and Biomass of Aquatic Vegetation in the Poyang Lake, China

Composition and Biomass of Aquatic Vegetation in the Poyang Lake, China

The distribution of aquatic vegetation and associated community diversity and biomass in the Poyang Lake were investigated. The results showed that (1) 43 species of aquatic vascular plants were found in the Poyang Lake watershed which belonged to 22 families; (2) the vegetation of the Poyang Lake s...
