We are facing a global collapse of biodiversity, in Europe over 50% of our habitats and over 50% of our species are in an “unfavourable” condition. We are seeing rapid decline in the populations of insects and pollinators upon with our agricultural systems depend.

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.

Provided Physiotherapies

Life over the water:

  • 2 Inseln mit 50 qm auf einem kleineren See

  • Inseln mit einen Zaun herum als Entenschutz

  • 2 Inseln mit 50 qm auf einem kleineren See

  • Eine Röhrichtinsel mit 250 qm auf einem größeren See

  • V-förmig ausgebildete Röhrichtinseln

  • Länglich ausgebildete Röhrichtinseln zum Schutz einer Flachwasserzone

  • Inseln mit einen Zaun herum als Entenschutz

  • Blütenaspekt auf Röhrichtinseln mit Sumpfschwerlilie

  • Reichhaltiges Pflanzenangebot mit Sumpfseggen, Weidenröschen und Blutweiderich

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.

Life under the water:

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.

They provide rich ecosystem, foof and shelter.
Roots with over 100 cm individual length, with Thousands of kilometer length under one sqm of floating wetlands provide a huge surface for microorganisme.
Larvas of chironomes
They provide a nursery area, food and shelter.

Investigations on colonization of the root area in floating wetlands have revealed a very high population density and a high biodiversity.

Find below and ideal food chain under the water of the floating wetlands with phytoplankton, herbivores, carnivores and fishes.

Settlement structure

  Carex (object plate) Iris (object plate) natural substrate
DM 8,42 8,15 8,55
HS 3,15 3,02 3,39
E 0,88 0,84 0,95
Ind. cm-2 6 x 10' 8 x 10' (60)*
number of species 36 37 36

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.

Xylit fiber as a catalyst for biodiversity:

The added use of Xylit fiber is important in building a food chain. Xylit attracts nutrition (specially Phosphorus). Due to this high supply of nutrients zooplankton concentrates on the Xylit fibers. This food conditions secure at the same time the food chain of the higher organisms (insect larvae, amphibians, but also for many fish and their spawning). This will create the foundations for the recovery of damaged ecosystems in / on the water.
