Environmental Factors Influencing the Development of Aquatic Plants

Abstract

Aquatic plants are essential for ecological balance, water quality, and biodiversity. Their growth is influenced by physical, chemical, and biological factors, including temperature, light, water movement, pH, nutrients, oxygen, and biotic interactions. Optimal development requires a balance of these factors, while human activities like pollution and climate change pose serious threats. Understanding these influences is crucial for ecosystem management and conservation. This study highlights key environmental impacts and suggests strategies for sustaining aquatic plant biodiversity.
