Aquatic Plant Diversity in Klong Khao Mao, Uthai District, Ayutthaya Province
Abstract
The diversity of aquatic plants was studied in Klong Khao Mao (canal), Uthai District, Ayutthaya Province in October, 2016 and January 2017 representing wet and dry seasons respectively. There were 15 families and 18 species of aquatic plants including 5 species of floating plants, 1 species of emerged plants and 12 species of marginal plants. The water hyacinth, Eichhornia crassipes and swamp morning glory, Ipomoea aquatic were the widely distributed in the canal. The number of aquatic plants species in rainy season (17 species) was higher than that in dry season (12 species). The biomass of aquatic plants in rainy season (191.80–769.50 g m-2) was also higher than that in dry season (142.30–376.50 g m-2), due to nutrient rich in canal during the rainy season.
