AquaFlora floating wetlands after one year installation
Aquaflora floating wetlands are some of most productiv and biodiverse habitats in the world. With this new biotop a diverse mix of plants species can immediate be established. This ecosystem will attract a diverse range of insects throuout the year.
The aquaflora wetland solutions have a variety of natural plant communites. The riparien vegetation is a perfect place for all sorts of insects and therefore for insect-eating animals.
Native wetland plants are the basis of this habitat and create the basis for the desired biodiversity.
They are installed by pre-planted mats with an immediate effect.
A diverse and complex root matrix develops below the floating wetland, creating a unique habitat for invertebrates, fish, zooplankton and such a diverse biofilm is the building blocks of the wetland food chain.
Find below and ideal food chain under the water of the floating wetlands with phytoplankton, herbivores, carnivores and fishes.

The diversity index (D + H) characterizes the structural diversity of a living community.
Everness (E) describes the dominance structure.
With more than 5000 individuals cm², the population density in the root system is very high.
