Moss plant is an interesting plant because they can live in emerged and submerged. Vesicularia Reticulata is one of an interesting moss plant. It also called Erect Moss. Many Aquascaping Hobbies planted it in his tank. It will grow maximal in high light, but it can live in low lighting too. Please visit http://aquascaper.org for more information about aquarium plant
Aquatic Plants is a plant that can live in water such as seaweeds, ferns and many other types with special functions in natural habitats. However, now, these aquatic plants have been commercialized for use in decorating fish aquariums to further enhance the attractiveness of the aquarium. In the meantime, aquatic plants are commercialized and sold in the hobby industry to keep ornamental fish in the aquarium actually have some functions. For beginners, aquatic plants are to beautify the aquarium. But for hardcore enthusiasts who prioritize the natural process, planting aquatic plants is more to seek satisfaction. By planting aquatic plants in the aquarium, we can learned that aquatic plants are important to supply oxygen in the aquarium naturally and can absorb carbon dioxide gas released by fish, thus completing natural carbon cycle. Aquatic plants in aquariums can also be a source of natural food for some species of fish that eat leaves or grass and will be a place of fish protection from predators, shelters of laying fish and also as a place of play.
Loss of submerged macrophytes resulting from high turbidity has become a global environmental problem in shallow lakes, associated with eutrophication. To help macrophyte recovery, application of artificial light-emitting diodes (LEDs) has been proposed to complement nutrient load reductions. We set up a mesocosm experiment to test if LEDs could compensate for shading effects from phytoplankton. We incubated three submerged macrophytes (Vallisneria natans, Myriophyllum spicatum and Ceratophyllum demersum) in 12 tanks of 1000 L under three artificial LED light treatments (red, blue and white) for 94 days in summer. The results showed that 1) growth of V. natans and M. spicatum was stimulated in all the LED light treatments, while C. demersum died in the end of the experiment in all treatments. The growth variables (ML Shoot , DM Shoot) of V. natans in blue, red and white treatments were 1.8-4.5 times greater than those in the control treatment. For M. spicatum, all plants only survived in the treatments with artificial light supplement. 2) Growing status of V. natans was similar among the treatments of different light colors, while M. spicatum grew best in the red light treatment. The results suggest that artificial light, particularly red light, can Handling Editor: Télesphore Sime-Ngando

Bryophytes are the oldest of all land plants and are believed to be the closest remaining link between land and aquatic plants. Their soft tissue makes fossil records bleak but the oldest evidence that has so far been found can be dated back to almost 500 million years ago. Spore-like structures of a liverwort were found in Argentinian rock dated to 473-471 million years old. The first evidence of mosses appears much more recently between fossils aged between 299-250 million years old. Due to the poor preservation of Bryophyte species, it is quite possible that the Bryophytes are significantly older. The bryophytes are the second largest group, exceeded only by the Magnoliophyta – the flowering plants (350,000 species). Their nearest algal relatives appear to be members of the Charophyta. Bryophytes are generally considered the first land plants. The role of bryophytes in the ecosystem is significant despite their small size. Aquatic mosses are generally chosen for their aesthetic q...

Strong growth limitation of a floating plant (Lemna gibba) by the submerged macrophyte (Elodea nuttallii) under laboratory conditions2010 •
1. The asymmetric competition for light and nutrients between floating and submerged aquatic plants is thought to be key in explaining why dominance by either of these groups can be stable and difficult to change.2. Although the shading effect of floating plants on submerged plants has been well documented, the impact of submerged plants on floating plants has been poorly explored hitherto.3. Here, we used laboratory experiments to examine how submerged plant (Elodea nuttallii) alter nutrient conditions in the water column and how this affects the growth of floating plants (Lemna gibba).4. We demonstrate that, at higher nutrient concentrations, Lemna is increasingly likely to outcompete Elodea.5. Under low nutrient concentrations (0.1–2 mg N L−1) Elodea can strongly reduce the growth of Lemna. Growth of floating plants virtually stopped in some of the experiments with Elodea.6. Extremely reduced tissue N, Mn, chlorophyll and elongated roots indicated that the growth inhibition of Lemna by Elodea was predominantly caused by the latter’s impact on the nutrient conditions for floating plants.7. These results strengthen the hypothesis that submerged plants can prevent colonization of a lake by floating plants.

Light intensity effects on the growth and biomass production of submerged macrophytes in different water strata2020 •
This study investigated the effects of light intensity on growth and biomass production of three submerged macrophyte species including Hydrilla verticillata, Vallisneria natans, and Ceratophyllum demersum in different water strata. For this purpose, water was classified into six strata designed: 5 cm, 30 cm, 60 cm, 90 cm, 120 cm, and 150 cm in the field under natural conditions. Results revealed that very high and very low heat intensity affected the growth of submerged macrophyte species differently. The growth of macrophytes was inhibited because of the high light intensity at 5 cm water strata. However, at 150-cm water strata, the macrophytes were died due to low light penetration. Among macrophyte species, the biomass production of Hydrilla verticillata and Ceratophyllum demersum was highest in the water strata at 90 cm, while Vallisneria natans were died in water strata of 120 cm due insufficient illumination. Furthermore, Hydrilla verticillata and Ceratophyllum demersum showed resilience and grown normally in later stages. The highest height of Vallisneria natans (35.3 cm), including Hydrilla verticillata (45.8 cm) and Ceratophyllum demersum (28.2 cm), was observed in water strata at 30, 60, and 60 cm. This study revealed that high and low light intensity affects the chlorophyll contents of macrophytes that results an impact on their growth and biomass production.
