Research on the selection of hydrophytes in land⁃ scape lakes of the south subtropical region(Ⅱ)——Screening hydrophytic plants by comprehensive evaluation index system
In order to improve the effectiveness of the development and utilization of aquatic plants in landscape lakes,21 species were selected for the study in 2019 from the 47 species of landscape lake aquatic plants studied in the previous period. The AHP method was used to construct an evaluation index system in the research. Through analysis and comparison,the comprehensive utilization value of these plants was ranked,which could be used as the basis for scientific selection of plants. The results showed that the contribution rate of hydrophytes to the overall tar‐ get of screening was in the order of emergent plants > floating plants > submerged plants. The results also demon‐ strated that 10 types of plants including Phragmitescommunis and Cortaderiaselloana among emergent plants,Eich‐ hirniacrasslpes and Euryale ferox among floating plants,and Ceratophyllumdemersum and Myriophyllumverticilla‐ tum among submerged plants have higher comprehensive utilization value than other aquatic plants. The comprehen‐ sive utilization value of the 21 tested hydrophytes is different from those of the plants used in traditional landscaping and ecological restoration. This is mainly due to the synergistic effect of plants with different ecological,ornamental and economic values. Therefore,in actual application,it is necessary to optimize the combination according to the main purpose and the comprehensive utilization value of the plant to release the maximum benefit.
