🚨New paper🚨From a survey of 560 garden-pond owners, nearly half keep invasive macrophytes, often bought through online communities that are blind spots for researchers and authorities. #waterhyacinth #waterlettuce #invasiveplants #citizenscience 🌿🌱🌺 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
Pontederia crassipes (water hyacinth) plant with bulbous petioles and light purple flowers
Pistia stratiotes (water lettuce) plant growing in a rosette with hairy hydrophobic leaves

I posted an introduction to today's research paper. It's about the purification of domestic wastewater using water lettuce in Pakistan, which is considered an invasive species in Japan and targeted for eradication.
