What is a duck?

Duckweed is a free floating water plant that grows both at rest and in the run of fresh water, such as lakes, rivers and streams. Unlike what could be expected from the name, there are no ducks involved in the growth habits of the plant, although it undoubtedly feeds on it when they find that they are growing. Depending on the circumstances, Duckweed can be an extremely invasive species or a welcome aquatic plant. Native plant companies usually have specific information about their condition in a particular area, for people who are curious. They usually have small residual roots if they have roots at all, and grow in the form of dense green carpets rounded freely floating thaloids, flattened structures that resemble leaves. Duckweed can spread quickly to cover the waterway and withstand all attempts to remove it. These plants are usually reproduced by budding, although they can produce a small flowerCcasion and prefer water that is rich in nitrogen and other nutrients.

in someCases can be a duck blessing. The plant easily filters substances, including toxins, from water and some biologists who use it in phytoremmediation. It can also provide hiding for water animals, in addition to nutrition for larger creatures such as ducks and geese. Some species are even considered attractive, which makes them potentially attractive as decorations in the garden. Some scientists even have a genetically modified duck to perform specific functions.

This plant can rapidly turn into a main problem, especially in areas where water is contaminated by excess nutrients, such as farm flow from farms or fertilizer leaks with limited animal feeding surgery (CAFO). A well -nourished duck can spread rapidly throughout the water formation, suffocate native plant species and threaten resident fish. The plant can also clog the propeller and filter systems, making it an inconvenience for humans and animals.

POKUD suddenly appears in an area where it has not been present yet, it may be a sign that something has changed about the environment. Drought, nutrient pollution and unusual weather patterns can all create flowers and plant proliferation should be considered to be concerned until the cause is identified. Some gardeners like to use Duckweed as a decoration for their water features, but they should think carefully before they can get out of control or spread to local water units.
