From an ecological perspective, a high density of plant <br />growth provides more habitat value than algae -dominated systems. Further, removal of plants from a <br />system like Silver View Pond would create conditions that permit excessive growth of algae because of <br />expanded light penetration through the water column in the absence of plants. <br />Number of Taxa N <br />x 0 Sil►►erview Pond <br />1 - 3 Number of Taxa <br />• 4-5 <br />• 6-7 <br />6127 and 6/28, 2023 <br />8131, 2023 <br />Figure 2.
