The impacts of beavers Castor spp. on biodiversity and the ecological basis for their reintroduction to Scotland, UK (2016, background): “Beaver ponds are often rich in macrophyte diversity (Ray et al. 2001).”
The relative importance of local conditions and regional processes in structuring aquatic plant communities (2010, methodology): “Total phosphorus analysis on samples acidified with three drops of concentrated H2SO4 was performed using the ascorbic acid method and potassium persulphate digestion ( Eaton, Clescenti & Greenberg, 1995 ).”
Response of aquatic plants to abiotic factors: a review (2011, background): “In such systems, the first colonizers are mainly seed or vegetatively dispersed macrophytes, such as Chara spp., Juncus articulatus, Zannichellia palustris, narrow-leaved Potamogeton species, and Myriophyllum spp. (Odland 1997; Ray et al. 2001).”
Ecological impact of beavers Castor fiber and Castor canadensis and their ability to modify ecosystems (2005, background): “ever, once introduced, they increased in abundance until the ponds were 40 years old (Ray et al., 2001).”
Whole‐community facilitation by beaver: ecosystem engineer increases waterbird diversity (2014, result): “This pattern is rather different from that found in some other groups: the diversity of herbaceous plants is highest in ponds 11 to 40 years old (Ray et al., 2001), and that of fishes in ponds 9 to 17 years old (Snodgrass and Meffe, 1998).”
