SUBMERSED AQUATIC VEGETATION IN THE TIDAL POTOMAC. Carter, V., Paschal, J. E., & Haramis, G. M. In Proceedings of SOUTHEASTCON Region 3 Conference, 1980.
abstract   bibtex   
The results of a continuing survey, begun in 1978, show that submersed aquatic vegetation is distributed unevenly in the tidal Potomac River. The largest and most diverse aquatic plant populations are found in the transition zone where freshwater and saltwater mix. This distribution is very different from that reported near the turn of the century. The factors that might cause thie unusual distribution, and the decline of submersed aquatic vegetation in general, include nutrient loading, increased sedimentation rates, substrate composition, and various types of chemical pollution associated with human population growth. The decline of plants in the freshwater tidal river and in other freshwater ecosystems indicates environmental imbalance. Refs.
