Abstract:

Plants can generate self-defense or create symbiotic relationships with other plants. Means of self-defense include poisons, thorns, thick skins, spines, or irritating hair. Symbiotic defense mechanisms often involve the exchange of vital nutrients or enhancing the ability for other plants to gather additional moisture or nutrients.

The presence of SAV is very important to the balance of Lake Mattamuskeet’s ecosystem. Several organizations are doing research to try to stop the rapid decline of SAV in the lake.
