Dotted Duckweed

I am working on a status re-assessment of Landoltia punctata (dotted duckweed) and was looking for some input on the ecological impacts of the species. Specifically, we need to know:

1. If the species causes longterm alterations in ecosystem processes 

2. If threatened/endangered species are impacted

3. If native vegetation is displaced

4. If community structure is altered

5. If it hybridizes

6. If invaded zones are >15% covered.

 

If you have information regarding this plant, please send me your answers as yes, no, or likely.

 

Thanks!
