Giardini di lago - Lake Gardens

Aquatic macrophytes play a key role in maintaining good water quality, sheltering different forms of animal life and allowing for a good functioning of the whole aquatic ecosystem. Their fragile nature makes them particularly vulnerable to the damage caused by myopic and uncontrolled industrial and recreational development and, more recently, by the effects of climate change. The fragile nature of this littoral environment makes ecological management essential. Lake gardens uses images to describe a large variety of aquatic plants that populate the littoral areas of lakes and rivers.
