• Title: NatureScot Commissioned Report 557: Experimental shading to control/eradicate Canadian waterweed
• Summary:Canadian waterweed Elodea canadensis is a cause of unfavourable condition in several designated standing water habitats throughout Scotland. Existing control methods are not considered to provide long-term control. Jute matting has been used successfully in Ireland to control a morphologically similar species (Lagarosiphon major). This study installed jute matting in Loch Libo in Renfrewshire, to assess its effectiveness in controlling E. canadensis.
