- Abstract
Interrelationships between two submerged macrophytes, Najas marina and Myriophyllum spicatum, were investigated. Double-reciprocal analysis was used to distinguish between possible types of negative relationships. Results demonstrated that interspecific inhibition was more severe than the intraspecific one. The intensity of inhibition was negatively correlated with the density of the examined species. The mutual inhibitory effect and the pattern of the obtained results suggest that competitive relationships exist between Najas marina and Myriophyllum spicatum.
