In daylight, methane (CH4) emissions from green Phragmites australis culms are dominated by internal convective through-flow controlled by relative air humidity (RH), air temperature and photosynthetic active radiation (PAR). As shading by opaque chambers may attenuate emissions, it is generally recommended to use temperature-controlled transparent chambers for measuring CH4 emissions. However, experimental data on the actual impact of opaque chambers are contradictory, and full-day measurements integrating the entire range of solar radiation are rare. Moreover, the impact of chamber headspace mixing with fans on measured CH4 fluxes remains to be determined. We conducted high resolution CH4 measurements over 8-24 h at two rewetted fen sites with dense reed stands featuring different water depths. Methane emissions were measured with short enclosure times (8-12 min) using temperature-controlled transparent chambers and opaque chambers both with and opaque chambers without continuous headspace mixing by fans. The use of transparent or opaque chambers with fans did not lead to significant differences in measured CH4 emission rates. At the deep water reed site, chambers without fans resulted in lower flux estimates compared to chambers with fans, but differences were not significant. Methane emission rates closely reflected changes of PAR, even during drastic and fast changes between clouded and clear skies, indicating that PAR is the dominant factor influencing CH4 flux rates of Phragmites. We explain the contradiction between the high importance of outside PAR and the negligible influence of chamber shading by pressure propagation along horizontal rhizomes connecting non-illuminated culms inside and illuminated culms outside the chamber. For plant species with interconnected gas exchange and pressurization exceeding the boundary of a measurement plot, both opaque and transparent chambers may therefore be used to reliably determine CH4 emission.

Preliminary explorations of environmental tolerances and growth rates of holopelagic Sargassum morphotypes
Jeffrey M. Schell, Deborah S. Goodwin, Rebecca H. Volk, Amy N. S. Siuda
Summary: Understanding the environmental tolerances and growth rates of different species of macroalgae is crucial for predicting their spatial and temporal dynamics. This study found that different morphotypes of Sargassum exhibited varying responses to temperature and salinity conditions.

Marine macrophyte strandings in the Yucatan peninsula: Citizen science as a potential tool for long-term monitoring
Erika Valzauez-Delfin, Carmen Galindo-De Santiago, Arely Paredes-Chi, Ameyalli Rios-Vazquez, Ana Benavides-Lahnstein, Kaysara Khatun, Juliet Brodie
Summary: Massive strandings of seaweed on the eastern coasts of the Yucat ' an peninsula, Mexico have become a major socioecological problem. A citizen science initiative, Big Seaweed Search Mexico (BSS-Mx), was developed to monitor temporal changes in the biomass stranded. The results represent baseline information that should be considered to develop management strategies and marine conservation actions according to each region.

A systematic review of mechanistic models of riverine macrophyte growth
Lee H. Dietterich, Suhey Ortiz Rosa, Bianca R. Charbonneau, S. Kyle McKay
Summary: Riverine macrophytes play crucial ecological roles in river ecosystems, but their growth models have received relatively limited attention compared to other aquatic or terrestrial plants. This systematic review reveals that current models often overlook important factors such as shading and the role of macrophytes in nutrient cycles. Future research should focus on exploring these factors and developing a conceptual framework to guide macrophyte growth modeling. Emphasizing modularity and accessibility is also important for improving efforts to model and manage riverine ecosystems.

The influence of nitrate pollution on elemental and isotopic composition of aquatic and semi-aquatic bryophytes
Alba Martin, Jordi Corbera, Oriol Cano, Catherine Preece, Josep Penuelas, Francesc Sabater, Marcos Fernandez-Martinez
Summary: Bryophytes can play a significant role in ecosystem processes and hold potential as bio-indicators for monitoring environmental pollution. This study examined the effects of NO3- pollution on the elemental composition of aquatic and semi-aquatic bryophytes and identified suitable species as bio-indicators. Higher NO3- concentrations were found in spring water from intense farming and urban areas, positively correlated with N content and delta N-15 isotope ratio in bryophytes. Apopellia endiviifolia and Oxyrrhynchium speciosum were highlighted as promising candidates for bio-indication of aquatic NO3- pollution.

Seed bank and germination ecology of sub-tropical Vallisneria americana
Christine B. Rohal, Carrie Reinhardt Adams, Charles W. Martin, Sarah Tevlin, Laura K. Reynolds
Summary: This study investigated the seed production, seed banking, and germination cues of sub-tropical Vallisneria americana. It was found that the seeds of sub-tropical populations were dormant and could only germinate in the presence of organic material, light, or following scarification. Germination rate was enhanced by the presence of low-oxygen organic sediments and ethanol. These findings suggest a germination strategy focused on exploiting openings in existing vegetation following disturbance.

Distributional range shifts of Western Atlantic benthic Sargassum species (Fucales, Phaeophyceae) under future climate change scenarios
Fabiano Faga, Carlos Frederico Deluqui Gurgel
Summary: Climate change is altering the distribution of marine biota, including Sargassum species. Future changes in abiotic variables are predicted to cause shifts in the latitudinal range and suitability area of Sargassum species. These changes may have significant impacts on marine ecosystems.

High methane emissions as trade-off for phosphorus removal in surface flow treatment wetlands
Ulo Mander, Martin Maddison, Alex C. Valach, Kaido Soosaar, Keit Kill, Kuno Kasak
Summary: Constructed wetlands treating runoff from agricultural catchments can reduce nutrient load of water, but they can also be significant sources of greenhouse gases, especially methane. This study assessed methane emission potentials and phosphorus removal efficiency in a 0.45 ha in-stream surface flow constructed wetland, and analyzed the temporal dynamics of methane emissions and phosphorus removal over a nearly 4-year period. The results showed a clear seasonal dynamic in phosphorus removal efficiency and an increasing trend in methane emissions over the years, with the majority of methane fluxes occurring during the warm period. Maintenance of the wetland and regular removal of aboveground vegetation can reduce methane emissions, and regular sediment removal is also necessary due to phosphorus saturation.

Fine-scale genetic structure of co-occurring seagrass species highlights the importance of repeated seedling recruitment (Leyte Island, Philippines)
Jessa May Malanguis, Tim Sierens, Ludwig Triest
Summary: This study demonstrates the importance of movement ecology and dispersal mechanism in the dynamics and resilience of seagrass populations and ecosystems. The comparison of genetic diversity and fine-scaled structure of two co-occurring seagrass species reveals the significance of different survival strategies and reproductive modes. These findings have important implications for conservation efforts, suggesting the preservation of natural expansion and local seed recruitment for successful conservation.

Effects of nutrients and light in aquatic habitat on the growth of Hydrocotyle vulgaris when expanded from terrestrial to aquatic habitat
Zhi-Huan Chen, Rui Zhang, Jun-Cai Xin, Zi-Han Qian, Shu-Jie Wang, Shang-Yan Qiu, Xue-Ge He, Chao Si
Summary: Nutrient availability and light intensity play important roles in the expansion of amphibious clonal plants from terrestrial to aquatic habitats. High nutrient levels and light conditions promote the growth of the apical portions and overall performance of the clones. Maintaining clonal integration can benefit the expansion of the plants by optimizing resource utilization. These findings have implications for predicting community dynamics and vegetation restoration in ecotones like wetlands.
