Macrophyte Communities Within the Channelized
Kissimmee River: Expectations for Restoration
by Caroline Hovey, South Florida Water Management District, 3301 Gun Club Rd., Div. 7180, West
Palm Beach, FL 33406 E-mail: chovey(asfwmd.gov
The
River,
located in
Central Florida,
flows from Lake
Kissimmee to
Lake
Okeechobee.
Historically, the
Kissimmee
meandered 166 .i R -Ks R
km, exhibiting
continuous in-channel flow and frequent over-bank flow. The 1.5 to 3 km wide floodplain surrounding
the river was typically inundated for prolonged periods throughout the year (Toth, 1993).
Between 1962 and 1971, the US Army Corps of Engineers constructed a regional flood control project,
for which a straight canal (C-38) was dredged through the river and floodplain. Dredging of C-38 cut off
sections of the old river channel and confined flow within a 90-km long, 100-m wide, and 9-m deep
waterway. This canal was divided by water control structures into 5 impoundments with stabilized water
levels (Goodrick et al, 1974). Although channelization and the hydrologic manipulations provided flood
protection for the region, the ecological integrity of the river/floodplain ecosystem was degraded,
altering vegetative communities and associated fauna.
Prior to channelization, continuous flows confined aquatic vegetation to littoral edges of the river
channel. Although there is little information available on specific vegetation characteristics of the river
prior to 1962, some features can be derived from aerial photographs and historical flow regimes. The
morphology of the river dictated variations in flow along and across the channel. Highest flow velocities
occurred along outside bends of channel meanders, leading to a deeper channel in these areas. Plant
species growing along the outer bends were well adapted to deep water with high flows and included
Nuphar lutea spatterdockk), Sacciolepis striata (American cupscale), and Polygonum densiflorum
(smartweed). Conversely, inner margins of channel meanders had lower velocities; these depositional
zones exhibited prominent sand bar formations. Species colonizing inside bends had to tolerate varying
water levels, and included Sagittaria lancifolia (arrowhead) and Pontederia cordata pickerelweedd).
Other common species distributed throughout the river channel included Scirpus cubensis (Cuban
bulrush), Panicum hemitomon (maidencane), and Hydrocotyle umbellata (pennywort). During periods of
low flow, floating species, such as Pistia stratiotes (water lettuce) and Eichhornia crassipes (water
hyacinth) likely accumulated along the edge of littoral beds (Toth et al, 1995). Additionally, floating
mats of vegetation would often accumulate in cut-off oxbows and backwater areas that received little or
no flow. Species common to these mats included Scirpus cubensis, Lemna spp. (duckweed), Eichhornia
crassipes, Pistia stratiotes, and Luziola fluitans (watergrass) (Pierce et al, 1982).
After channelization, aquatic vegetation communities changed significantly due to stagnant water
conditions within remnant river channels. One of the most striking effects was increased coverage of the
exotic species Pistia stratiotes and Eichhornia crassipes. Although these species were present prior to
channelization, continuous flows likely restricted their growth, particularly during moderate to high flow
regimes. After flow to remnant channels was eliminated, these species proliferated and now often cover
the entire width of remnant river channels. Eichhornia crassipes and Pistia stratiotes are treated with
herbicides several times a year to maintain navigation through these channels.
Lack of flow to remnant river channels has allowed the distribution and coverage of Scirpus cubensis to
increase, and it is now one of the most abundant species within remnant channels. Scirpus cubensis
forms mats that may host a variety of other forbs and small shrubs, including aquatic species as well as
species typical of drier conditions. Secondary colonization by Ludwigia spp. (primrose willow),
Eupatorium capillifolium (dog-fennel), Pontederia cordata, Sagittaria lancifolia, Typha domingensis
(cat-tail), and many other species is common on the floating mats.
In addition to Scirpus cubensis, other common aquatic species include Salvinia minima (water spangles),
Lemna spp., Hydrocotyle umbellata, Polygonum densiflorum, and Nuphar lutea. Of these, the floating
and mat-forming species are the most abundant within remnant channels. Because there is no flow,
species distribution is independent of channel morphology, often covering the entire width of the river
channel. This is particularly common during summer months, at the peak of the growing season. The
overabundance of aquatic vegetation in remnant river channels, particularly Scirpus cubensis, not only
prevents light from reaching the water column below, but also contributes large deposits of organic
matter to the remnant channels. In some areas, the organic layer may reach one meter thick, covering the
sandy substrate and increasing the biological oxygen demand in the surrounding waters (Koebel, 1995).
Over the past two decades, demonstration projects have been conducted to determine the feasibility of
restoring the Kissimmee River to pre-channelization conditions. These projects provide some insight
into expected responses of the vegetation community to restoration. During 1984 and 1985, three weirs
were placed across the C-38 canal to force water through adjacent remnant channels. The
reestablishment of flow in the river channel decreased the width of vegetation mats in mid-channel
areas; however, when flow subsided Eichhornia crassipes and Pistia stratiotes often rapidly expanded
(Miller, 1990).
In 1994, a 300-m section of C-38 was backfilled, diverting the majority of flow through the channel
adjacent to one of the demonstration project weirs. Based on aerial photographs of this channel six
months after flow was restored, several changes in the macrophyte community were documented. Mats
of Scirpus cubensis were flushed out by high flows and replaced by narrower littoral beds composed
primarily of Nuphar lutea and Polygonumrn densiflorum. While the overall width of macrophyte beds
decreased, this effect was more prominent on outer bends, which had narrower littoral zones compared
to the inner bends of channel meanders. Inner bends had a higher occurrence of Pontederia cordata and
Sagittaria lancifolia, while outer bends supported more Panicum hemitomon. Although these projects
likely do not show the full effects of restoration on the macrophyte community within river channels,
they indicate the potential for restoring these communities to historic conditions.
Restoration of the Kissimmee River began in June 1999. During the 11-year construction period the C-
38 canal will be backfilled to reconnect remnant river channels and restore continuous flow. Overall, 35
km of C-38 will be backfilled, restoring 70 km of continuous river channel. Two water control structures
will be removed and water levels will be managed to reestablish historic hydrologic conditions.
Several expectations for changes due to restoration can be formulated based on the effects of the weirs
and backfill projects, along with knowledge of the historic Kissimmee River. Once flow is reestablished,
vegetation coverage is expected to decrease and be limited to the littoral fringes of the river channel.
Along inside bends of channel meanders, vegetation beds likely will remain within 5 meters of the bank;
along outside bends of channel meanders, where flows will be higher, vegetation beds will remain
within 3 meters of the bank.
In addition to changes in macrophyte bed width, dominant plant species also are expected to change.
Floating and mat-forming species that currently dominate will be replaced by emergent species,
particularly those that are adapted to flowing conditions and varying water levels. These beds will likely
include Nuphar lutea, Polygonum densiflorum, Sacciolepis striata, and Panicum hemitomon. The
distribution of these species will depend on channel morphology. Emergent species tolerant of varying
hydroperiods will dominate along inner bends, where sand bar formation is likely, while deep-water
emergent species will be more common along outer margins of channel meanders.
Changes in the macrophyte communities of the Kissimmee River are expected to occur within one to
three years following backfilling of the C-38 canal (Dahm et al, 1995). Currently, flow has been
reestablished in two channels that were stagnant for nearly 30 years. As construction continues, the
remnant channels will be reconnected into a single continuous river channel. Although it is not possible
to restore the entire length of the Kissimmee River, this restoration effort will reconnect 70 km of river
channel and reestablish over 14,000 ha of floodplain wetlands. The benefits of this project extend
beyond the vegetation communities by providing habitat for birds, fish, and other wildlife.
SUMMARY OF MACROPHYTE COMMUNITY CHANGES WITHIN THE KISSIMMEE
RIVER
Historic Conditions
1. Vegetation within river channels was confined to narrow littoral zones.
2. Littoral zones were composed of emersed, submersed, and floating species. Dominant plants included
Nuphar lutea, Polygonum densiflorum, Sacciolepis striata, and Panicum hemitomon.
3. The deepest areas occurred along outer bends where flows were highest; these areas hosted species
better suited to such conditions (e.g. Nuphar lutea and Polygonum densiflorum). Inner bends were
shallower with characteristic sandbars.
Current Conditions
1. Vegetation extends well into mid-channel areas and often covers the entire channel width. There is no
variation in vegetation width due to channel morphology.
2. Floating and sprawling species dominate. Although 55 species have been identified in the channels,
only 7 of these account for over half of the total coverage. The most abundant species are Scirpus
cubensis, Salvinia minima, Lemna spp., Pistia stratiotes, and Hydrocotyle umbellata.
3. Distribution of vegetation within the channels is independent of channel morphology.
After Backfilling & Restoration of Hydrology:
Initial High Flows/Short-term Expectations
1. High flows will flush thick mats of Scirpus cubensis out of the channel, clearing mid-channel areas.
2. Floating species, such as Pistia stratiotes, also will be removed.
Continuous Flows Over Time/Long-term Expectations
1. Vegetation will be confined to a narrow littoral zone. Along inner bends of channel meanders,
vegetation will be within 5 meters of the bank. Along outer bends of channel meanders, vegetation will
be within 3 meters of the bank. Vegetation along straight runs will be within 3 to 5 meters of the bank.
2. Emersed species, such as Nuphar lutea, Polygonum densiflorum, and Sacciolepis striata will become
dominant. Floating and sprawling species will remain, but will diminish and be confined to backwater
areas.
3. The composition of macrophyte beds will vary depending on morphology of the channel. Outer bends
will support deep-water emersed species, such as Nuphar lutea, Polygonum densiflorum, and Sacciolepis
striata. Inner bends will have marsh vegetation, such as Pontederia cordata and Sagittaria lancifolia.

Salvinia molesta and Salvinia minima are two non-native floating ferns in the
United States. S. minima has been here for quite some time; some believe it to be a
native plant. However, S. molesta, giant salvinia, is known to be a major pest plant
elsewhere--and it's newly arrived in the U.S.
But what do they look like?
APIRS has produced two new line drawings of these two plants, both by artist/
biologist Laura Line.
Here are the line drawings for online viewing.

Management Plan, as ordered by the President in an Executive Order issued
February 3, 1999. Here is a web page that presents the full text of President

Re-plant tape grass! Vallisneria americana is known as tape grass, eel grass and
American wild celery. It is a very important submersed plant that provides food for
ducks and other birds and stabilizes lake and river bottoms; it is native, primarily of
eastern North America, from Nova Scotia to the Gulf of Mexico. Hydrilla
infestations and other unfortunate events destroy tape grass meadows. During
restoration, eco-managers often want to re-plant the favored tape grass. Here is a
web page which provides comprehensive information about the plant's taxonomy,
reproduction, phenology, ecology, productivity and propagation: http://www.
npwrc.usgs.gov/resource/literatr/wildcel/wildcel.htm
"A Weed of National Significance." Cabomba, Cabomba caroliniana, has been
named as a "Weed of National Significance" in Australia, and a "national strategy is
being developed for cabomba, as part of the Australian National Weed Strategy."
Native to America, cabomba has recently infested several water storage dams, and
"is a concern with regard to blocking water flow, reducing water quality and
reducing access for boating and swimming. It has also been observed to outcompete
native aquatic plants, with subsequent effects on native fish and invertebrates." For

I'm not a plant, but will aquatic herbicides harm me? Regarding the use of
aquatic herbicides in our waters and wetlands, Dr. Carole Lembi says it's reasonable
to wonder "whether the use of chemicals in your body of water will be safe to you
and safe to the environment? That is a legitimate concern that all of us should have
before we apply any chemical to control some pest. How toxic is the chemical...
How persistent is the chemical... Will it cause cancer?" Dr. Lembi, of Purdue
University, attempts to answer these questions in a web-based tutorial and narrated
slide show. http://www.btny.purdue.edu/aguatic/aguaticherb.html
Aquatic plants in Utah?! Although Utah is the 2nd driest U.S. state, receiving only
13 inches of precipitation annually, the state does have aquatic and wetland
resources that it wants to protect. Thus, the Utah Aquatic Nuisance Species Action
Team, members of which represent about a dozen public and private organizations
in that state. The "primary threats" they list include purple loosestrife (Lythrum
salicaria), Eurasian water milfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum) and zebra mussel
(Dreissenapolymorpha). One place you can get information about Utah's ANS

Hyacinth-induced paralysis. Africa's Lake Victoria, covering 27,000 square miles,
is the second largest freshwater lake in the world. Unfortunately, it now has the
exotic floating aquatic weed, water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes), massive mats
of which paralyze port and fishing cities in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. Aquarius
Systems, manufacturers of aquatic plant harvesting equipment, has won a grant from
the World Bank to clear away and dispose of some of the worst mats. For pictures of

New Journal: BIOLOGICAL INVASIONS
Kluwer Academic Publishers has begun publication of a new quarterly journal,
Biological Invasions, with the first volume for 1999 just released. According to
editor-in-chief James T. Carlton, "Our hope is to seek the threads that bind for an
evolutionary and ecological understanding of invasions across terrestrial, fresh
water, and salt water environments. Specifically, we offer a portal for research on
the patterns and processes of invasions across the broadest menu: the ecological
consequences of invasions as they are deduced by experimentation, the factors that
influence transport, inoculation, establishment, and persistence of non-native
species, the mechanisms that control the abundance and distribution of invasives,
and the genetic consequences of invasions."
Other topics welcomed include invasion biodiversity and biogeography, the
theoretical basis of the release and use of biocontrol species and genetically
modified organisms, and management and policy issues.

New Journal: PLANTED AQUARIA
Planted Aquaria, a quarterly magazine devoted to the hobby of keeping planted
tanks, made its debut with the Spring 2000 inaugural issue.
The editors plan to present information about planted tank management, aquatic
plant nutrition and physiology, plant types and their relationships to other plants and
animals, aquascaping, lighting, substrate, and more. The small format journal uses
striking color photographs to show a multitude of planted aquaria from around the
world. The first issue includes an article on "Style in the Planted Aquarium" which
points out that the Dutch have been seriously keeping planted tanks for much longer
than many other nations. They have "hotly competitive 'Aquarium Beautiful'
contests" with "very specific rules and highly trained, very demanding judges."

Aquaphyte Summer 2000 AQUAPHYTE ONLINE Summer 2000 Macrophyte Communities Within the Channelized Kissimmee River: Expectations for Restorationby Caroline Hovey, South Florida Water Management District, 3301 Gun Club Rd., Div. 7180, West Palm Beach, FL 33406 E-mail: chovey@sfwmd.gov The Kissimmee River, located in Central Florida, flows from Lake Kissimmee to Lake Okeechobee. Historically, the Kissimmee meandered 166 km, exhibiting continuous in-channel flow and frequent over-bank flow. The 1.5 to 3 km wide floodplain surrounding the river was typically inundated for prolonged periods throughout the year (Toth, 1993). Between 1962 and 1971, the US Army Corps of Engineers constructed a regional flood control project, for which a straight canal (C-38) was dredged through the river and floodplain. Dredging of C-38 cut off sections of the old river channel and confined flow within a 90-km long, 100-m wide, and 9-m deep waterway. This canal was divided by water control structures into 5 impoundments with stabilized water levels (Goodrick et al, 1974). Although channelization and the hydrologic manipulations provided flood protection for the region, the ecological integrity of the river/floodplain ecosystem was degraded, altering vegetative communities and associated fauna. Prior to channelization, continuous flows confined aquatic vegetation to littoral edges of the river channel. Although there is little information available on specific vegetation characteristics of the river prior to 1962, some features can be derived from aerial photographs and historical flow regimes. The morphology of the river dictated variations in flow along and across the channel. Highest flow velocities occurred along outside bends of channel meanders, leading to a deeper channel in these areas. Plant species growing along the outer bends were well adapted to deep water with high flows and included Nuphar lutea (spatterdock), Sacciolepis striata (American cupscale), and Polygonum densiflorum http://plants.ifas.ufl.edu/aq-s00-5.html (1 of 5) [6/6/2008 2:00:50 PM]

Aquaphyte Summer 2000 (smartweed). Conversely, inner margins of channel meanders had lower velocities; these depositional zones exhibited prominent sand bar formations. Species colonizing inside bends had to tolerate varying water levels, and included Sagittaria lancifolia (arrowhead) and Pontederia cordata (pickerelweed). Other common species distributed throughout the river channel included Scirpus cubensis (Cuban bulrush), Panicum hemitomon (maidencane), and Hydrocotyle umbellata (pennywort). During periods of low flow, floating species, such as Pistia stratiotes (water lettuce) and Eichhornia crassipes (water hyacinth) likely accumulated along the edge of littoral beds (Toth et al, 1995). Additionally, floating mats of vegetation would often accumulate in cut-off oxbows and backwater areas that received little or no flow. Species common to these mats included Scirpus cubensis, Lemna spp. (duckweed), Eichhornia crassipes, Pistia stratiotes, and Luziola fluitans (watergrass) (Pierce et al, 1982). After channelization, aquatic vegetation communities changed significantly due to stagnant water conditions within remnant river channels. One of the most striking effects was increased coverage of the exotic species Pistia stratiotes and Eichhornia crassipes. Although these species were present prior to channelization, continuous flows likely restricted their growth, particularly during moderate to high flow regimes. After flow to remnant channels was eliminated, these species proliferated and now often cover the entire width of remnant river channels. Eichhornia crassipes and Pistia stratiotes are treated with herbicides several times a year to maintain navigation through these channels. Lack of flow to remnant river channels has allowed the distribution and coverage of Scirpus cubensis to increase, and it is now one of the most abundant species within remnant channels. Scirpus cubensis forms mats that may host a variety of other forbs and small shrubs, including aquatic species as well as species typical of drier conditions. Secondary colonization by Ludwigia spp. (primrose willow), Eupatorium capillifolium (dog-fennel), Pontederia cordata, Sagittaria lancifolia, Typha domingensis (cat-tail), and many other species is common on the floating mats. In addition to Scirpus cubensis, other common aquatic species include Salvinia minima (water spangles), Lemna spp., Hydrocotyle umbellata, Polygonum densiflorum, and Nuphar lutea. Of these, the floating and mat-forming species are the most abundant within remnant channels. Because there is no flow, species distribution is independent of channel morphology, often covering the entire width of the river channel. This is particularly common during summer months, at the peak of the growing season. The overabundance of aquatic vegetation in remnant river channels, particularly Scirpus cubensis, not only prevents light from reaching the water column below, but also contributes large deposits of organic matter to the remnant channels. In some areas, the organic layer may reach one meter thick, covering the sandy substrate and increasing the biological oxygen demand in the surrounding waters (Koebel, 1995). Over the past two decades, demonstration projects have been conducted to determine the feasibility of restoring the Kissimmee River to pre-channelization conditions. These projects provide some insight into expected responses of the vegetation community to restoration. During 1984 and 1985, three weirs were placed across the C-38 canal to force water through adjacent remnant channels. The reestablishment of flow in the river channel decreased the width of vegetation mats in mid-channel areas; however, when flow subsided Eichhornia crassipes and Pistia stratiotes often rapidly expanded (Miller, 1990). http://plants.ifas.ufl.edu/aq-s00-5.html (2 of 5) [6/6/2008 2:00:50 PM]
PAGE 6
Aquaphyte Summer 2000 In 1994, a 300-m section of C-38 was backfilled, diverting the majority of flow through the channel adjacent to one of the demonstration project weirs. Based on aerial photographs of this channel six months after flow was restored, several changes in the macrophyte community were documented. Mats of Scirpus cubensis were flushed out by high flows and replaced by narrower littoral beds composed primarily of Nuphar lutea and Polygonum densiflorum. While the overall width of macrophyte beds decreased, this effect was more prominent on outer bends, which had narrower littoral zones compared to the inner bends of channel meanders. Inner bends had a higher occurrence of Pontederia cordata and Sagittaria lancifolia, while outer bends supported more Panicum hemitomon. Although these projects likely do not show the full effects of restoration on the macrophyte community within river channels, they indicate the potential for restoring these communities to historic conditions. Restoration of the Kissimmee River began in June 1999. During the 11-year construction period the C38 canal will be backfilled to reconnect remnant river channels and restore continuous flow. Overall, 35 km of C-38 will be backfilled, restoring 70 km of continuous river channel. Two water control structures will be removed and water levels will be managed to reestablish historic hydrologic conditions. Several expectations for changes due to restoration can be formulated based on the effects of the weirs and backfill projects, along with knowledge of the historic Kissimmee River. Once flow is reestablished, vegetation coverage is expected to decrease and be limited to the littoral fringes of the river channel. Along inside bends of channel meanders, vegetation beds likely will remain within 5 meters of the bank; along outside bends of channel meanders, where flows will be higher, vegetation beds will remain within 3 meters of the bank. In addition to changes in macrophyte bed width, dominant plant species also are expected to change. Floating and mat-forming species that currently dominate will be replaced by emergent species, particularly those that are adapted to flowing conditions and varying water levels. These beds will likely include Nuphar lutea, Polygonum densiflorum, Sacciolepis striata, and Panicum hemitomon. The distribution of these species will depend on channel morphology. Emergent species tolerant of varying hydroperiods will dominate along inner bends, where sand bar formation is likely, while deep-water emergent species will be more common along outer margins of channel meanders. Changes in the macrophyte communities of the Kissimmee River are expected to occur within one to three years following backfilling of the C-38 canal (Dahm et al, 1995). Currently, flow has been reestablished in two channels that were stagnant for nearly 30 years. As construction continues, the remnant channels will be reconnected into a single continuous river channel. Although it is not possible to restore the entire length of the Kissimmee River, this restoration effort will reconnect 70 km of river channel and reestablish over 14,000 ha of floodplain wetlands. The benefits of this project extend beyond the vegetation communities by providing habitat for birds, fish, and other wildlife. SUMMARY OF MACROPHYTE COMMUNITY CHANGES WITHIN THE KISSIMMEE RIVER http://plants.ifas.ufl.edu/aq-s00-5.html (3 of 5) [6/6/2008 2:00:50 PM]
PAGE 7
Aquaphyte Summer 2000 Historic Conditions 1. Vegetation within river channels was confined to narrow littoral zones. 2. Littoral zones were composed of emersed, submersed, and floating species. Dominant plants included Nuphar lutea, Polygonum densiflorum, Sacciolepis striata, and Panicum hemitomon. 3. The deepest areas occurred along outer bends where flows were highest; these areas hosted species better suited to such conditions (e.g. Nuphar lutea and Polygonum densiflorum). Inner bends were shallower with characteristic sandbars. Current Conditions 1. Vegetation extends well into mid-channel areas and often covers the entire channel width. There is no variation in vegetation width due to channel morphology. 2. Floating and sprawling species dominate. Although 55 species have been identified in the channels, only 7 of these account for over half of the total coverage. The most abundant species are Scirpus cubensis, Salvinia minima, Lemna spp., Pistia stratiotes, and Hydrocotyle umbellata. 3. Distribution of vegetation within the channels is independent of channel morphology. After Backfilling & Restoration of Hydrology: Initial High Flows/Short-term Expectations 1. High flows will flush thick mats of Scirpus cubensis out of the channel, clearing mid-channel areas. 2. Floating species, such as Pistia stratiotes, also will be removed. Continuous Flows Over Time/Long-term Expectations 1. Vegetation will be confined to a narrow littoral zone. Along inner bends of channel meanders, vegetation will be within 5 meters of the bank. Along outer bends of channel meanders, vegetation will be within 3 meters of the bank. Vegetation along straight runs will be within 3 to 5 meters of the bank. 2. Emersed species, such as Nuphar lutea, Polygonum densiflorum, and Sacciolepis striata will become dominant. Floating and sprawling species will remain, but will diminish and be confined to backwater areas. 3. The composition of macrophyte beds will vary depending on morphology of the channel. Outer bends will support deep-water emersed species, such as Nuphar lutea, Polygonum densiflorum, and Sacciolepis striata. Inner bends will have marsh vegetation, such as Pontederia cordata and Sagittaria lancifolia. References: Dahm, C.N., K.W. Cummins, H.M. Valett, and R.L. Coleman. 1995.

Re-plant tape grass! Vallisneria americana is known as tape grass, eel grass and American wild celery. It is a very important submersed plant that provides food for ducks and other birds and stabilizes lake and river bottoms; it is native, primarily of eastern North America, from Nova Scotia to the Gulf of Mexico. Hydrilla infestations and other unfortunate events destroy tape grass meadows. During restoration, eco-managers often want to re-plant the favored tape grass.

Cabomba, Cabomba caroliniana, has been named as a Weed of National Significance in Australia, and a national strategy is being developed for cabomba, as part of the Australian National Weed Strategy. Native to America, cabomba has recently infested several water storage dams, and is a concern with regard to blocking water flow, reducing water quality and reducing access for boating and swimming. It has also been observed to outcompete native aquatic plants, with subsequent effects on native fish and invertebrates.

20(1) New Journal AQUAPHYTE ONLINE Summer 2000 New Journal: BIOLOGICAL INVASIONS Kluwer Academic Publishers has begun publication of a new quarterly journal, Biological Invasions, with the first volume for 1999 just released. According to editor-in-chief James T. Carlton, "Our hope is to seek the threads that bind for an evolutionary and ecological understanding of invasions across terrestrial, fresh water, and salt water environments. Specifically, we offer a portal for research on the patterns and processes of invasions across the broadest menu: the ecological consequences of invasions as they are deduced by experimentation, the factors that influence transport, inoculation, establishment, and persistence of non-native species, the mechanisms that control the abundance and distribution of invasives, and the genetic consequences of invasions." Other topics welcomed include invasion biodiversity and biogeography, the theoretical basis of the release and use of biocontrol species and genetically modified organisms, and management and policy issues. Subscription prices: Institutions NLG 505.00/USD 252.50; Individuals NLG 200.00/ USD 100.00 (postage included).

20(1) New Journal AQUAPHYTE ONLINE Summer 2000 New Journal: PLANTED AQUARIA Planted Aquaria, a quarterly magazine devoted to the hobby of keeping planted tanks, made its debut with the Spring 2000 inaugural issue. The editors plan to present information about planted tank management, aquatic plant nutrition and physiology, plant types and their relationships to other plants and animals, aquascaping, lighting, substrate, and more. The small format journal uses striking color photographs to show a multitude of planted aquaria from around the world. The first issue includes an article on Style in the Planted Aquarium which points out that the Dutch have been seriously keeping planted tanks for much longer than many other nations. They have hotly competitive Aquarium Beautiful contests with very specific rules and highly trained, very demanding judges."
