A preliminary evaluation of lake morphometric traits influence on the maximum growing depth of macrophytes

<p>Underwater light regime is widely considered the principal determinant of aquatic plant depth distribution. The majority of previous studies dealing with macrophytes in lakes have singled out Secchi disk transparency (SD) values as the key empirical <em>proxy</em> to explain the...
