Allelopathy of aquatic autotrophs
Magazine article from: Critical Reviews in Plant Sciences ; ABSTRACT: Allelopathy in aquatic environments may provide a competitive advantage to angiosperme, algae, or cyanobacteria in their interaction with other primary producers. Allelopathy can influence the competition between different photoautotrophs for resources and change the succession of
