N2 - Periods of low water level ( drawdown ) may kill mature submersed aquatic plants and their vegetative propagules. Re-establishment from a sediment-based seed bank may be limited by desiccation, high temperatures and increased salinity, environmental changes that may often accompany drawdown. Vallisneria australis (Hydrocharitaceae) is a common, submersed clonal wetland plant in southeastern Australia, which reportedly reproduces mainly by vegetative spread.
