The Goal of this
project, funded CSIRO, is to assess populations of Cabomba caroliniana
(Gray Fanwort) in three Oregon coastal lakes. Cabomba is a non-native,
potentially invasive weed.
We assessed submerged
aquatic vegetation in 0.25m^2 qudrats at various depths within the
photic zones of Cullaby, Sutton and Woahink Lakes. We measured the
maximum stem length, number of stems, and dry weight of all macrophtyes
within each quadrat. We also measured nutrient concentrations, several
other water quality variables, and assessed macroinvertebrates associated
with the vegetation..
