Aquatic plant distribution is driven by physical and chemical variables and hydroperiod in a mediterranean temporary pond network

The aim of this study was to assess aquatic plant distribution patterns in a Mediterranean temporary pond network (Doñana National Park, SW Spain). We analyzed differences in species composition employing multivariate ordination techniques; we specifically examined the importance of hydroperiod and...
