I was reading a website, here: https://www.waterjournal.org/volume-8/osborne
and read this particular part:
What are people's thoughts on this? Has anyone conducted any tests focusing on temperature or fluctuating temperatures vs plant growth?
Also, what specifically does it mean by respiration?
and read this particular part:
Water temperature can be problematic for SAV by increasing respiration rates and impairing enzyme function (Zimmerman et al. 1989; Lacoul and Freedman 2006; Riis et al. 2012), thus impairing nitrogen assimilation. However, SAV in spring runs generally do not experience thermal stress due to the thermal consistency of groundwater (unless exposed in shallow backwaters).
