A study by professors at the University of Murcia has investigated the environmental changes that occur in aquatic ecosystems, excessive growth of reeds, especially the negative impact has this plant in water quality.
An initial reed has invaded the boulevards Southeast of the Iberian Peninsula as a result of increased area under irrigation in the area, works as a natural filter in the assimilation of nitrogen, then in its decline and death, Free.
The alteration of water quality by increasing nitrogen, say the teachers of Ecology Maria del Rosario Vidal-Abarca, Maria Luisa Suarez and Maria Isabel Arce, water loss is potentially useful both for agriculture and for human consumption.
Ecologically, they add, the increase of nitrogen in water leads to environmental changes such as eutrophication of water bodies and the negative effects this has on the aquatic ecosystem.
Among its findings, the authors point out that there are other natural processes involved in nitrogen removal in aquatic systems, such as, for example, denitrification, which are more effective than biological uptake by the reeds.
