The vegetative growth and turion formation of Potamogeton crispus , a submersed aquatic macrophyte, was investigated under a range of phosphorus (P) concentrations (0.025, 0.25, 2.5 and 25 mg P L −1 ) in the ambient water free of algae, aiming to identify the responses of submersed aquatic macrophyt...
