Invertebrate Colonization During Leaf Decomposition of Eichhornia azurea (Swartz) Kunth (Commelinales: Pontoderiaceae) and Salvinia auriculata Aubl. (Salvinales: Salvinaceae) in a Neotropical Lentic System

Abstract. The decomposition of macrophytes is an essential process for cycling of carbon and nutrients, and it is source of organic matter for invertebrates in lakes.
