Relationships between aquatic vegetation and water turbidity: A field survey across seasons and spatial scales.
Field surveys often show that high water turbidity limits cover of aquatic vegetation, while many small-scale experiments show that vegetation can reduce turbidity by decreasing water flow, stabilizing sediments, and competing with phytoplankton for nutrients. Here we bridged these two views by expl...
