This study assesses the growth and morphological responses, nitrogen uptake and nutrient allocation in four aquatic macrophytes when supplied with different inorganic nitrogen treatments (1) NH 4 +, (2) NO 3 -, or (3) both NH 4 + and NO 3 -. Two free-floating species (Salvinia cucullata Roxb. ex Bor...
