Abstract:

Succession of macrophytes in the lake became more dramatic and dynamic after invasion of Azola ie 2004. The weed pushes and smothers other free-floating macrophytes like lemna sp. It then provides substrates for the emergent weeds, which later reduces its population by competition for light and nutrients.
