Succession in aquatic vegetation in remodelled streams (examples in SW France)
Evolution des végétaux aquatiques dans les cours d'eau recalibrés (exemples pris dans le sud-ouest de la France)
Résumé
The maintenance of the streams examined now consist of clearing the areas invaded by helophytes or silted. Its effect is to restore the hydrosere to its original state. The succession can develop again as long as the growth of vegetation along the banks does not cut out too much incident light.
