Aquatic plants (hydrophytic plants or hydrophytes) are plants that have adapted to live in or on aquatic environments. Because they are living under the water require numerous special adaptations, aquatic plants can only grow in water or permanently saturated soil. Aquatic vascular plants can be ferns or angiosperms (from a variety of families, inc...

... is a perennial plant, growing on acidic soils. Its height is 2 cm and spread is 10 cm or more. The leaves are evergreen, 2-3.5 cm long, in a basal rosette, forming clumps. The trumpet-shaped terminal flowers have a blue colour ( Fig. 5) with olive-green spotted longitudinal throats. They grow on a very short peduncle, 3-6 cm long. The flower stem is often without leaves, or has 1 or 2 pairs of leaves. It likes full sun, is fully hardy and flowers in late spring and ...

... are considered the most biologically diverse of all ecosystems. Alisma plantago-aquatica var. orientalis grows in shallow water, and consists of a fibrous root, several basal leaves 15-30 cm long, and a triangular stem up to 1 m tall, with a branched inflorescence bearing numerous small flowers with three round or slightly jagged, white or pale purple, petals (Fig. ...

In the short-term, an increased role will be played by cities in the decisive shift to create more resilient communities. Aquaponic Design ® aims to be part of this change through the design and construction of modular and customizable urban aquaponic systems, fostering public awareness on environmental issues, specifically targeting food production and distribution. By promoting short food chains, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions associated with both transport and packaging, is achieved. In the present study, results from a real environment aquaponic prototype are presented. The growing system, hosted at Le Serre-Kilowatt sustainable food and co-working hub in Bologna, Italy, includes a productive part (230 plants grown in vertical towers) and a table with 12 integrated and communicating mini ponds. The system is also connected with a raised pond (10,000 L), hosting 400 fishes (including goldfish, koi, medaka and gambusias). Part of the system is accessible to the public and used for demonstrative and training purposes. Preliminary data on productive potential and system resilience are also presented.
