Uptake of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) and their purification capacity for five native submerged macrophytes were investigated in laboratory simulated hydrostatic conditions,including ,,,,The results indicated that the moisture contents of different submerged macrophytes were almost the same before and after the test,with the range of 89.8%-92.0%.The net accumulated biomass changed from 1.52 g·m to 12.92 g·m among different submerged macrophytes,and the highest net accumulated biomass of was 8.5 times higher than the lowest plant of .The N and P contents of five submerged macrophytes ranged from 26.54 to 34.44g·kg and from 2.54 to 4.01g·kg,respectively,and the N and P contents of were relatively high.Total N and P removal efficiency of different submerged macrophyte treatments had ranges of 63.8%-83.1% and 49.2%-70.8%,significantly higher than those of the CK treatment (39.9% and 36.9%),respectively,and the removal efficiency decreased in the order of > > > >.Total N and P removal efficiencies of different submerged macrophyte treatments were significantly correlated with net accumulated biomass,with correlation coefficients of 0.994(<0.01) and 0.996(<0.01).The contribution of direct N and P uptake to different submerged macrophytes had the ranges of 1.5%-13.3% and 2.2%-13.2%,and the synergism contribution (deducting self-purification capacity of water) of different submerged macrophytes ranged 22.5%-29.9% and 10.1%-20.6%,indicating that the synergistic effect of submerged macrophytes purification was much more significant than the direct uptake effect in the process of water purification.

Aquatic macrophytes encompass a highly diverse group of plants with different strategies, niche requirements, and dispersion capacities. Therefore, macrophyte life forms can respond distinctly to environmental factors. We analyzed whether emergent/amphibious, floating-leaves/rooted submerged, and free-floating/free-submerged macrophytes respond differently to local, spatial, and land use variables in ponds and streams of the Amazon.

The release of nitrogen and phosphorus from sediments, known as internal nutrient loading, plays a crucial role in determining the eutrophic state of lakes and the timeframe for their ecological recovery. The restoration of submerged macrophytes is considered an effective measure to improve lake eutrophication. However, the impact of submerged macrophytes restoration on the storage and transformation mechanisms of nitrogen and phosphorus in lake sediment-water systems has not yet been systematically studied.

Aquatic macrophytes, especially Vallisneria nana, provide essential spawning habitat and food resources for the threatened Australian lungfish (Neoceratodus forsteri). The availability of V. nana for lungfish has been dramatically reduced in some areas due to flood disturbances and macrophyte recovery is inhibited by reduced hydrochory due to river fragmentation by dams.
