1. Advances in the knowledge of the natural history of aquatic plants in the Neotropics
ABSTRACT Until the mid-XX century, little awareness on the ecological services or socio-environmental problems and benefits related to aquatic plants culminated in bottlenecks on their natural history, especially for the Neotropics. In this context, Acta Botanica Brasilica (ABB) organized this special issue to promote the advancement of knowledge on this eco

2. Reproductive phenology of aquatic macrophytes in the Cerrado-Pantanal ecotone
ABSTRACT Studies of plant phenology have been performed predominantly with terrestrial species and rarely so with aquatic communities. Such plants are fundamental for the aquatic ecosystems, representing a valuable source of resources when they are scarce in terrestrial environments for the fauna. Studies of phenology help to understand the reproduction rhyt

3. Different scales determine the occurrence of aquatic macrophyte species in a tropical stream
ABSTRACT Distributions of aquatic macrophyte species are commonly associated with water chemistry characteristics. However, other environmental factors that can lead to the occurrence of aquatic plants in lotic ecosystems, such as dynamic habitats linked to the surrounding landscape, have been underestimated. This study aims to evaluate landscape features th

4. Breaking the misconception of a dry and lifeless semiarid region: the diversity and distribution of aquatic flora in wetlands of the Brazilian Northeast
ABSTRACT The semiarid region of northeastern Brazil possesses a set of wetlands characterized by hydrographic basins with deficient drainage networks, a few large and permanent lotic systems and several permanent and temporary lagoons. Aquatic plants are widely distributed in these wetlands and the present study aims to determine if those of Ceará state hav

5. Implications of global climate change for the development and ecological interactions between two key Amazonian aquatic macrophytes
ABSTRACT Amazon wetlands are among the most vulnerable ecosystem to be impacted by climate change, which may increase the frequency of extreme droughts and floods. We used Eichhornia crassipes and Pistia stratiotes, two abundant aquatic plants in the Amazon floodplains, to evaluate the effects of combined temperature and [CO2] increase on growth, physiology

6. Predicting the potential distribution of aquatic herbaceous plants in oligotrophic Central Amazonian wetland ecosystems
ABSTRACT Aquatic herbaceous plants are especially suitable for mapping environmental variability in wetlands, as they respond quickly to environmental gradients and are good indicators of habitat preference. We describe the composition of herbaceous species in two oligotrophic wetland ecosystems, floodplains along black-water rivers (igapó) and wetlands upo

7. Biomass production of the aquatic macrophyte Ceratopteris pteridoides (Hook.) Hieron (Pteridaceae) in nutrient addition treatments
ABSTRACT Aquatic macrophytes are a key group in flooded areas due to their high primary productivity, and several species present in the Amazonian floodplains have potential for human food use. This study evaluated biomass production and nutrient levels in fronds of Ceratopteris pteridoides (Pteridaceae), under the following nutritional treatments: (T1) arte

8. Limnological layers improve species distribution modeling of aquatic macrophytes at fine-spatial resolution
ABSTRACT Species distribution modeling (SDM) studies of aquatic macrophytes are still attached to methodological paradigms focused on terrestrial plants, such as the use of bioclimatic layers. Our goal was to evaluate the applicability of this paradigm based on a SDM study of Egeria densa, Pontederia crassipes, and Salvinia auriculata in the São Francisco r

9. Maintenance of wetland plant communities: the role of the seed bank in regeneration of native plants
ABSTRACT Exotic grasses have been introduced into wetlands and can compete with native plants due to their high tolerance of flood and dry periods. Flooding can facilitate seed dispersal of exotic species and reduce the diversity of native species. We compared two grasslands to assess whether seed banks can maintain the diversity of native plants in wetlands

10. Applicability of computer vision in seed identification: deep learning, random forest, and support vector machine classification algorithms
ABSTRACT The use of computer image analysis can assist the extraction of morphological information from seeds, potentially serving as a resource for solving taxonomic problems that require extensive training by specialists whose primary method of examination is visual identification. We propose to test the ability of deep learning, SVM and random forest algo

11. Seasonal performance of aquatic macrophytes in improving physicochemical parameters of swine wastewater
Resumo Os efluentes da suinocultura apresentam elevado teor de carga orgânica e de nutrientes, o que dificulta o seu tratamento. Dessa forma, as macrófitas aquáticas representam uma alternativa para a despoluição desses efluentes, devido ao alto poder de absorção que essas plantas possuem. Neste contexto, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o desempen

12. Effects of primary productivity on beta diversity of ecological communities
Resumo Objetivo Diversos fatores ecológicos afetam previsivelmente a diversidade beta - a dissimilaridade das comunidades entre locais ou através do tempo. Considerando o efeito da produtividade primária, existem divergências na literatura a respeito do tipo de relação que seria encontrada (positiva, negativa ou em formato de domo). Isto é relevante
