The determinants and control measures of the expansion of aquatic macrophytes in wetlands

摘要

More attention was paid to the excessive expansion of macrophytes which would accelerate the bioaccumulation and the terrestrilization. Studies on the relationship between the occurrence of plant spread and environmental variables are important because they would provide understanding of the impacts of natural and human factors on terrestrilization in wetland ecosystem. The review summarized the determinants of the aquatic macrophytes expansion. The ecological characteristics of the plants, community features and environmental conditions were included. The reliability and validity of water quality regulations, hydrological regulation, biological control, and other common control measures were also discussed in the paper.
