Rapid mass development of native and invasive macrophytes is causing global concerns. Dense mats of macrophytes can negatively affect activities like boating, fishing, etc., and one of the measures often applied is mechanical removal. Nonetheless, they provide habitats and thereby potentially support biodiversity. The effects of dense mats of macrophytes and their removal on biodiversity remain unclear. We hypothesize that dense mats of macrophytes have a positive impact on the richness and abundance of zooplankton, phytoplankton, and macroinvertebrates. Thus, the removal of macrophytes is expected to reduce biodiversity in comparison to sites where macrophytes remain. We find that dense mats of macrophytes are overall beneficial for the th...
