RESTORATION OF WETLAND PLANT COMMUNITIES DOMINATED BY TYPHA LATIFOLIA
凡口宽叶香蒲湿地植物群落恢复的研究

In this paper the species composition, community structure, biomass and species biodiversity of a Typha latifolia wetland at Shaoguan in Guangdong Province (South China) was investigated. The major results are as follows: 1) ninty_eight species belonging to 86 genera were recorded in the community, with Typha latifolia, the major dominant and Phragmites communis and Cyperus malaccensis as secondary dominants; 2) with restoration of the wetland, soil fertility increased significantly: organic matter from 0.54% to 1.17%, N from 0.040% to 0.082%, P from 0.069% to 0.141% and K from 0.71% to 0.82%; 3) species diversity index is negatively correlated with soil organic matter, N, and P content and a significant increase in species richness, biomass and diversity occurred from the wastewater run_on to the effluent side of the community; 4) toxicity of available Pb and Zn in the wetland ecosystem was the major constraint on the restoration of diversity.
