Aquatic vegetation of the Indian subcontinent

  • Chapter
Ecology and management of aquatic vegetation in the Indian subcontinent

Part of the book series: Geobotany ((GEOB,volume 16))

Abstract

An account of the aquatic vegetation should first set its limits by defining an aquatic plant. Unfortunately there is as yet no universally agreed definition; and it is indeed impossible to define it in universal terms. The boundary between land and water presents a spectrum of habitats ever changing in time and space, with a gradient of water regimes which in turn influence several other physical and chemical factors.
